I watched the film of Henson's game Saturday.
Here is my detailed analysis of his performance.
I hope you enjoy this.
I will try to do this for every game Henson has this year in NFL Europe.
Overview:His throws looked good coming out of his hand.
His release point has good and he had great zip and a tight spiral on all his passes.
He seemed out of sync for most of the game, but got into a grove towards the end of the game.
He has a pretty quick release.
He rolled out four times and looked fairly comfortable in that capacity.
He doesn't seem to have great pocket awareness, but I will need to see more of him to be sure.
He finished the game 5/11 for 58 yards.
His QB rating was a lowly 61.
9.
The Rhein Fire ran the ball very effectively so they really didn't open the offense up.
They did a little when Timmy Chang came in during the 2nd quarter.
He provided a spark, but still didn't really look any better than Henson.
1.
2 & 10.
Pass was tipped by a LB dropping into a zone across the middle.
Was almost picked about 25 yards down the field.
2.
3 & 10.
Rolls out to his right, nobody open, so he runs it out of bounds for no gain.
Smart decision not to force a throw.
3.
2 & 7.
Dropped back, hammered as he threw.
Still delivered on target to TE about 10 yards out in the right flat.
Called back for holding.
4.
3 & 17.
Throws a bomb a couple of yards out of bounds.
Receiver was well covered.
Believe it was called back due to penalty.
5.
1 & 5.
Hit TE on crossing route over the middle.
Not a difficult pass, but showed arm strength.
Hit him right in the chest.
Did a nice job of getting rid of the ball fast with no hesitation.
6.
3 & 3.
Threw into double coverage at the goal-line.
It was knocked down.
Showed great arm strength.
Wasn't a good decision, but Zuriel Smith made it worse by stopping on his post route so he wouldn't get nailed by the safety.
A throw most QBs in the NFL will try.
Most good receivers could have caught that ball.
7.
1 & 10.
Rolls out right, sacked before he had a chance to do anything.
Nothing he could have done, the RB completely missed his block.
8.
3 & 9Went through his reads, dumped off to RB for 19 yard gain.
9.
2 & 6Short pass to TE, on target for 4 yards.
10.
4 & inches.
Play action pass.
Lead TE a little to much on a 15 yard corner route.
Ball was just out of his reach.
Not an easy throw because there was a tight window to fit the ball in.
Showed coach's confidence in Henson's ability with the way they ran the ball all day.
11.
1 & 10.
Quick pass out to fullback in flats.
Threw at his shoe tops.
Incomplete.
12.
3 & 15.
Rolls out to right, steps into throw.
Overthrows guy cominghorizontally towards him abut 40 yards down the field.
Called back.
12 men on field.
13.
3 & 10.
Hits WR across middle 20 yards away.
Bulleted it right into the receivers chest.
Best throw of the game for any QBs.
A lot of starting QBs in the NFL couldn't make that throw.
Gained 21 yards.
14.
2 & 6.
Nice completion to TE for 8 yards.
Threw accurate off his back foot.
I would have liked to have seen him step into the throw and get hammered as he made the throw, because that would show me how tough he is.
15.
3 & 11.
Plenty of time.
The corner is running the crossing route better than the WR.
CB drops INT.
