Via ESPN: Drew’s straw? Henson waiting on next start.
Now that Julius Jones is back, and therefore can take some of the heat off of the QB, and since the playoffs are clearly out of reach, it is time for the Henson era to begin. I don’t think it is the best move in terms of winning this year, but it likely is in terms of winning next year. Dallas’ main problem hasn’t been QB (although Vinny has been a bit INT-happy), but rather the lack of a running game and defense that is simply not very good.
So, with this season over, the Boys should put Henson in and let him learn–especially since, as noted, it appears that Jones is ready to be the starting RB and the emergence last week of WR Copper means that even with Glenn hurt, the WR corps is pretty strong. And if the O-line has been able to protect the statue-like Testaverde, then surely the more mobile Henson will have some time to pass the ball.
Really, with a running game (and I will grant it has not yet been proven Dallas has one yet), the offense should get better. The O-line has been good as pass protection, Keyshawn-Morgan-and hopefully Copper appear to be a good WR trio (although it hurts to have lost Glenn) along with Jason Whitten (a potential superstar) at TE, there is no reason why this team can’t move the ball. At this point, I say give the Henson the chance to do so.
Then in the offseason, the clear needs are on defense: a Right Corner above all else, and clearly some D-linemen. With two number 1s (their own and Buffalo’s) , there is no reason why Dallas can’t be greatly improved next year–especially once all the injured players return.
Still, after their performance last year, this has been quite the dissappointing season.
agreed!!!!

I’ll say it. The ‘Boys outperformed themselves last year, and had no right to do well this year. The Henson era and a couple of first rounders will do wonders for the team over the next couple of years.

I agree that they overperformed last year, but the utter collapse of the defense this system is quite the surprise–although having no right corner doesn’t help.
