Listening to Jim Henderson call the game

I usually don't turn on 870am when the game's on TV, but I was driving home from Shreveport so I listened to Jim Henderson the whole way back.

I noticed a lot of discrepancies on his down and distance calls throughout the entire game. i.e. "1st and 10, Drew throws a 5 yard pass to Darren Sproles… that'll bring up 2nd and 7. or 1st down and the Saints have the ball on the Jaguars 45 yard line… Mark Ingram pushes the ball to the 39… that'll bring up 2nd and 6." I'm paraphrasing there, but this happened throughout the whole game. I like Jim, but his calls were either very inaccurate or he just was too lacksadaisacal (sp?) in his distance analysis. Not a big deal, but it's just aggravating when I'm driving and trying to get a visual of what's going on in the game.
