I'm torn on Henne. When he first started for us in '09, he set the world on fire, then he fell apart in December. Last year, he got off to another hot start and really, REALLY fizzled in December.
But now I watch him in the pre-season for the first time without Dan Henning (who is the worst OC of all time) and he looks refreshed. He has better pocket mobility, the ball is coming out a lot quick, and we're stretching the field (that 60 yard TD pass to Marshall never would've happened last year.)
But he does have some serious lapses. And I think Mark Sanchez is dog **** as well, you'll get no argument out of me there.
We shall see. I think it'll be a CLOSE game, at least until late. I think the Patriots come away winning in something like a 27-20 contest; but never really in danger of losing.
So Sanchez is dog****, but Henne looks great this pre-season.
I love Dolphin fans
Dolphins offensively will be worse than last year. I think losing both Ronnie Brown and Williams will have a residual effect, and your OL is a huge question mark, compared to last year. Long is coming back from injury who has barely played in the pre-season, as mentioned, your running game will take a huge step back. You can talk about Bush's speed all you want, he can't run between the tackles, and on a team with a shaky OL, his ability and potential is neutralized. Your rookie RB has struggled this pre-season, and your TE's are average at best. Marshall is a stud, but you have nothing else beside him. Daboll is nothing special, but I tend to agree with the notion he will probably be a refreshing change from Henning, but it remains to be seen what Daboll will do with that offense.
Miami's defense is their only bright spot, they are solid up front, Wake is a nice player on the outside, decent to solid players up front. LB is probably Miami's weaker position, next to Dansby, the position has some question marks. Von Davis is a nice looking young CB, Smith is an unknown, great athlete, but lacks football IQ and instincts, safety position is a question mark with the elder Bell and Clemons, still overall, defense will be pretty good, but how long they can carry your offense, without a good running game to control the TOP remains to be seen.
BTW, you can sit there and try and pimp Henne all you want, there is a reason why reports are out today that the Phins are interested in Garrard, and were interested in Orton.
Your coaching staff, especially Sparano is a clown, fist pump is in over his head, and is a lame duck. Pray the Giants are successful this year and you get a shot at Cowher.
Oh, and Miami fans, sorry, worst fans in the league, the biggest myopic fan base in the country, and they can't even fill up the stadium.
At least Ross will give the fans a good halftime show with his celebrity ownership regime.
