Quote:I see Henne lock onto his first read and stay there with alarming frequency. If that guy is open, he'll throw in that direction, and the play is potentially a success (if on target, not dropped, etc). If that guy is not immediately open, we either get a forced throw into ill-advised coverage, or he'll wait until a sack arrives. I just don't see progressions in his game.

 

Re-watch the WAS game.  Seriously.  I have it DVR'd so I have (although I FF through the parts where WAS has the ball) some parts in slow motion.  You'll see him time and again spinning his head going through his possessions.  He called audibles a few times too although I wasn't specifically looking at those instances.  He changed coverages a number of times.  He did what he was supposed to.  I have never seen a QB get that kind of rush heat in recent memory.

 

EDIT TO ADD: That doesn't mean he didn't make any mistakes.  I think he probably could have avoided at least two of the sacks and he had two very bad throws, one to the feet of an open receiver on a 3rd down play and there is another one I remember that was almost picked and of course the actual pick, but overall I would agree with Bradley that he was probably one of the very few guys on the team that *didn't* stink.
