Quote:I don't see Blake looking "shell shocked" one bit. I take it you're talking about his being a little conservative? I know he's run out of the pocket a few times, but every time it's been for good reason. He's not shying away or looking at the pass rush or anything like that. He's standing firm and delivering the ball. You can't seriously tell me you'd start Henne this week?

 

Agreed, he didn't look shell shocked at all, either in week 1 or any game his rookie year.  The guy is tough.  He's taken some hard hits, and he continue to stand in the pocket.

 

What it looks like to me is that he's tight.  He's griping too hard, trying to much, whatever you want to say...  But he needs to loosen up.  If he can relax and trust what he's seeing, I think he'll begin really improving.

 

(Edit:  It would also help if his dang WRs would bail him out and catch a ball every now and then...)
