Sparano opening flood gates again

[bigmiamifan]

Fasano bobbled a ball off both hands high into the air and a midget receiver overan his route and that is enough to overshadow his near perfect 40+ yard pass for a td hitting Hartline in stride. Sigh.

This is completely true. It could also be completely true that it was a vanilla play designed in preseason where bess was the only real option to go to. If you look at the entire screen, all i could see was red jerseys all over the field. So Hartline was probly covered in a simple pattern. What henne should have done is just tuck it and run. He needs to do more of that on early downs. But this play was a simple play that just was a sign of the past. boring play reminiscent of henning type plays.

I'm actually referring to the Moore pick. The second Henne pick was terrible regardless of the route Bess ran.

You have never seen a good QB make a completion to a receiver who is bracketed by two defenders before? Tom Brady does it all the time. Do you think that receivers are going to be running free from blown coverages, like the touchdown pass to Hartline, on every play. In the NFL, good QB's make tough throws into tight windows. The fact is Moore threw a perfectly accurate pass deep down the middle of the field with a heavy pass rush right in his face

It was not a perfectly accurate pass, if it was only Wallace would be able to catch it. Tom Brady does not force footballs into double coverage if that's what you're implying unless the guy running the route was Randy Moss. If you're going to chalk up Henne's td as blown coverage you also have to consider Moore's first td was blown coverage. It was one game lets not overanalyze and Sparano will put the guy he thinks will keep his job in the game.

A mere fraction of deep balls are balls that only the receiver can catch. A vast majority of passes like that are ones where the receiver goes up and fights for the ball. That's what Brandon Marshall lobbied for all of last year and what Henne was afraid of doing that made Marshall a lot happier when Thigpen was in there.

Two observations about those picks - Clay should have been the target on that Fasano int, he was wide open to Fasano's left and in better position to pickup YAC. - Brandon Marshall would have caught that pass instead of Moore getting picked.

Whoa, that ball was thrown behind Fasano. Fasano should've caught the ball, but lets not pretend Henne threw a perfect pass either

had fasano left his hands down , the ball would have hit his #0 on his jersey.

I have watched the game three times on my gamepass at this stage and the reality is that both QBs had some nice throws and some horrible throws.

>Yes Fasano should have caught that pass, but the ball was thrown behind him rather than leading him like it should have been.
>The second Henne INT was a combination of a route being messed up, Henne staring down the receiver and him throwing a wild, high pass.
>Moore's INT was caused by an ill advised pass and bad hands by the WR, batting the ball into the air where it could be picked off.

I am not pushing the panic button yet based on the QB play in the first pre season game. However, the o-line play in run blocking is an area of concern and if we cannot run the ball then whoever is behind centre is in trouble.
