Quote:In regards to anxiety;

 

whereas anxiety is the expectation of future threat (Chad Henne might have that in regards to losing his job)

Anxiety is a feeling of fear, worry, and uneasiness, usually generalized and unfocused as an overreaction to a situation that is only subjectively seen as menacing (hmm like Suh coming right at you unblocked)

It is often accompanied by muscular tension, restlessness, fatigue, and problems in concentration  (hmm have you ever noticed Blakes jaw movement thing right before he lines up for a play?)

 

-------------------------

 

I guess we'll have to wait a few weeks before Blake starts, but the future looks bright!

According to all reports, the last thing Henne is feeling is anxiety.  He even supported the decision to allow Bortles to practice with the first team this week, and th get reps with them in Detroit.  Henne understands his role, and he should be commended for continuing to be a real pro despite the fact that he knows he's just renting the position. 

 

As far as his "jaw movement thing" goes, he's done it throughout his career.  Pretty sure it has nothing to do with tension, restlessness, fatigue, or concentration problems.
