"Take it to the House" Henderson

I think he gets an unfair shake when it comes to our fanbase. I just wanted to point out that on numerous occasions this season, Drew completely missed Devery either underthrowing or going to the wrong receiver. Those 464 yards could have easily been 764 yards imo. Regardless... whether he's being thrown to or catches the ball or not, he plays a key part in our offense stretching the field. In my opinion, he's a bigger "decoy" than Bush is. I also wanted to say in defense of Colston, some of the adjustments he has to make on Drew's ball are ridiculous... not to mention as soon as he catches balls over the middle, he's clobbered by two guys. Drew has a tendancy to lead him into some dangerous situations... which contribute to his dropped balls. |

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.
All little common sense goes a long way. Last edited by papz; 05-30-2011 at 04:48 PM.. |

Devery is a real threat, and would be #1 on a lot of teams. People get things stuck in their heads, without knowing the actual stats.
The main thing about Devery, is that you shouldnt throw directly to him sometimes. If you want 100% insurance he will catch the ball, throw it behind him between 2 defenders, as he is falling backwards upside down in a twisted pile being hit. He's made some krrazy catches he shouldnt have. |
