Henne was bad, but there are alot of moving parts as to why he was this bad.  The O-line in both pass protection and run blocking was just terrible.  I mean, we did better in pass blocking in week 1.  I don't know what the heck happpened out there with the line.  

 

With that said, I'm ready for Bortles to get in there.  I watched every pre-season game, and even when the line broke down, Bortles made a play.  One play comes to mind, I think it was in week 4 when Bortles was playing against the Falcon's 1st string, Blake took the snap and a defender came straight up the middle un-blocked, Bortles side stepped him, rolled out to his right and threw it down field.  These are types of things against a first string D that makes me think Bortles can overcome a weak O-line. 

 

Plus, like I said, the line looked OK in pass protection against Philly...  So I'm trying to stay positive and hope that the line, especially at C and G get a bit better.  Of course, that's just a hope.  

 

The other concern that BB5 won't have control over is the personnel packages and game planning.  Can BB5 overcome a predictable offense?  The thing is, from what we've seen so far Defenses have no problem figuring out what's coming.  Looking at it from a positive perspective, perhaps Henne is so bad and figuring out what is coming from the D that he cannot exploit the matchup issues that come from overloading a side or from blitz packages that are coming his way.

 

Perhaps BB5 will be better at running Fish's offense.  It can be argued that I am hyper critical of the OC.  Perhaps what the OC needs is a QB that can better execute the game plan.  Either way, it's time to get BB5 in there.  I was thinking we'd wait till November, after the bye.  But I'm sorry, it's hard to watch Henne and the offense anymore.  I'm hoping BB5 is ready VERY soon.  Like  this week.  

 

But I doubt BB5 starts this week.  I hope he does.  But the coaches will do what they think is best.  Either way, I'll be watching.  It's just a matter of how much I'll be drinking and in what mood.
