Chad Henne was good again Wednesday.
No, I'm not going to write a daily report on his progress or lack of it. But I am somewhat committed to reporting how the Dolphins starting quarterback is performing when he does something of note.
And just as Sunday was noteworthy for Henne's fine play and Tuesday was noteworthy for his not-so-fine-play, Wednesday was another day on top.
"In the last four practices I’ve seen him make a jump," coach Tony Sparano said. "He’s practiced pretty well."
Henne on Wednesday completed a nice deep ball of 25 yards to Brandon Marshall during team drills. In team red zone drills, he dropped in a nice 5 yard pass to Anthony Fasano that was just out of reach of linebacker Koa Misi. He was generally accurate throughout the day.
Sparano, aware Henne has no real competition for the starting quarterback job, believes Henne can still improve despite not really being pushed by backup Matt Moore.
“One thing I’ll say about this guy is during the lockout on, he’s been really self-motivated," Sparano said. "He’s done a tremendous job that way. The challenges of the new system and him keeping up with that system and having command and being in command, that challenge has been good for him."







Actually make that my 09:25 post.

Odinseye always assumes he won the debates and claims that as though everyone agrees, but few ever do. Its his way of entertaining himself...Rarely are his arguments based on anything convincing, just drunk rap.
Posted by: Apache | August 10, 2011 at 09:34 PM
Armando, Henne up down, really? As you stated, Sparano says Henne has been better in the last 4 practices.
Let's see: Last 4 practices Henne has been re3ported to have 3 pretty good ones and 1 bad one. Dont know how you guys count but 3 out 4 is a pretty good average for the rest of the sane world.
3 out of 4 is not up and down in any sane person's rationale.
Posted by: DyingBreed | August 10, 2011 at 09:34 PM
If he has 3 good series in a game and 1 bad one, we could work with that. Might lead us to 12-4?

Of course, nowadays reporters are required to be on the go(not quite so relaxed) and they do a pretty good job at it(except Armando when he doesn't have his binoculars).

I admire your optimism, mensfan72, but it doesn't work that way with Henne. His one of four normally comes in the fourth quarter with the game on the line. FAIL for you.

Seminole Sam,
Hmm.... If Henne lead 3 successful scoring drives and still needs to have a successful scoring drive to win the game late in the 4th qtr. but fails. That might now be a Henne problem, its called a defensive problem because your unit cant stop the opposition from scoring.

Sam,
Give it a rest already.
I haven't lied or misrepresented a DAMN thing, unlike you, you fvckin tard!
EVERYBODY except apparently tards like you knows that if a QB is going to "develop"-"make it or break it"-however the hell you prefer to say it, EVERYBODY knows they almost always do it somewhere between their 30-35 start. IE: their third season starting.
Exzcuse me if I don't cross my tee's and dot my I's(I wish I could dot your eyes you dusche!), brush up on your reading comphrenhension skills and then maybe we can talk.
(Call me a liar Bu-oy, I'll slit yo wig!)
Fvcking punk, what the hell is so fvcking hard to understand-Duh!?!? You said Henne is a dud. I said he's just at the point where QB's take that major step forward-Geez. Considering we have no other viable options, we might as well find out what we got-SHEESH!
How much whining and crying are you going to do you little Be-atch? It's guys in the club like you that causes me to wake up in the drunk tanks charged with aggravated assault and battery.
PUNK!!!!

Drawing ANY conclusions from preseason pratices is ludicrous.
You are all just JO'ing your mind with this stuff. Lets see Henne against NE then we'll see.

TS is full of s h I t... I wonder why Henne doesn't have any competition!! Because of. You a holes not wanting to sign a Veteran that can push him out that's why!! Because if they would have sign one Henna would be the backup not the starter, and that makes TS and JI look stupid and incompetent!!!
Say the truth a s s hole Sparana!!!

A lot of us have been saying "give it a chance to play out", but another group keeps saying "Henne will never amount to anything".
Sounds like you're in the first group, even if you're a little crude.

Just don't lie and say you said something that you most clearly did not, fanboy.
What you just wrote is very different from your original post which, btw, is the over-the-top post that had me thinking that you were either drunk or playing on your daddy's computer.
"Almost all QB's take a massive step in their third year".... My G*d, it's just so, well, STUPID.

this offense is being built around henna's assets. that is something that should have been done last year. Go figure. He is starting to get it to click and gets this new system. He is the man to go to with the new playbook. This is all very positive for Henne this year. Drew Brees was worse than Henne at this point in his career as was Manning and several others. Give him a chance and don't jump on the first interception and he will do great!

I'm not a troll, mensfan72. I just see our situation for what it is. We enter the season with no viable QB. If that incites you or makes you feel that I can't possibly be a fan of the team, then so be it. I've been a fan of the team since before '72 (unlike some folks who jumped on the bandwagon when they started going to Super Bowls).

Henne has no assests. Not mobile, not accurate, not an improviser, can't read defense. The only offense you can design around him is take a knee.
Posted by: Orion | August 10, 2011 at 10:11 PM
Sanchez Aug 9th Practice Report:
• The Mark Sanchez-led passing game continued to sputter. Sanchez had TE Dustin Keller on a deep seam, but the throw was off target and broken up by S Eric Smith, who should've made the pick. Later, in a 7-on-7 drill, Sanchez made a terrific pump fake and lofted a nice deep ball to Santonio Holmes ... who dropped it.
• The No. 1 offense can't seem to get anything going in the two-minute drill. This time, starting at their 35, Sanchez was intercepted by S Brodney Pool, who caught a deflected pass that was intended for Keller.
• This was only Derrick Mason's second practice, but the former Ravens WR already is a factor. In a passing drill, he beat his man and hauled in a 35-yard TD pass from Sanchez. Later, in a red-zone drill, he got open in the back of the end zone and made a nice grab. After that, it was downhill for the offense inside the 20.
• During one of the breaks in practice, Sanchez worked on play-action drop backs from the 5-yard line, under the watchful eye of offensive consultant Tom Moore. Coordinator Brian.
Henne's has been good 3 of his last 4 practices and you thought he sucked! LOL...

Sparano said Hennes preparation was TREMENDOUS.
