NFL Week 6 thread

The dropoff from Smith to Hood is not as severe as the dropoff from Smith and whatever tomato can they lined up in his spot last season.

 

And, that's why the Dolphins, if they reach the halfway point at 4-4 will win the AFC East.

Perhaps the best offensive line in the NFL.

 

The Giants' OL might disagree.

 

According to Tomlin, Hood is not ready to start. That is not encouraging. Then again, maybe he is just trying to kick the kid in the ass.

 

Hood is mobile enough to play an end?

I admittedly haven't paid much attention to the guy; just assumed he was Casey Hampton 2.0.

 

Maybe so, but Henne had all night to throw last night against a defense that made life hell for Brady and Brees.

Along those lines, Henne's prime time debut is on the short list of the most impressive ones I can recall. Thanks for playing, Chad Pennington, your services will not be needed in Miami in 2010.

 

Not at all. Hood is a 3-4 defensive end, not a nose tackle. Not that he was anything but invisible Sunday.

 

The Dolphins always play well against that defense on Monday Night.

 

Christ ... I wasn't even close. That's what I get for not reading up on the Steelers nearly enough.

 

Henne completed what I consider the "cycle" of passes that only great QBs throw with consistency. All in the fourth quarter.

Long ball: Ginn TD
Touch pass: Camarillo to the lefton 3rd down in final drive for a first.
Medium to long out: Numerous times, most impressively on the end of a roll right on third down to again find Camarillo for the crucial final first down.

Steve Young called it the greatest display of young quarterback play he has ever seen.

Too bad, though, that the Dolphins didn't ship a 2nd and 5th for Edwards.

 

Let's not anoint Henne the next Mark Sanchez just yet.

 

Saints are favored on most Vegas lines by 28 over Giants this weekend.
WOW!
