He has no TE...I wouldn't call that a great receiving corps. I do agree he'll be in the pro bowl though.

_________________

I also disagree that the phins receiving corps is great. they have however taken a step in that direction with the addition of Brandon Marshall. We need the other young receivers to step up their game along with the tight ends. Henne showed that he is pretty tough and can deliver if given the proper support.

3 things that will prevent Henne from making the Pro Bowl...
Manning, Shaub, and Brady.
Don't get me wrong, I definitely think Henne is the real deal and can have "pro bowl" type numbers. But it will be very difficult to make it to the pro bowl because there are so many good QB's in the AFC. Not to mention Palmer, Flacco, and Rivers. I do believe Henne will definitely elevate his game this year. But I'd have to say that Henne needs to also step up his game when under pressure while getting blitzed. He needs to learn how to get some yards on the ground when the field is open. I know he is no Vince Young, but Pennington did a good job at getting those decent yards when no receiver was open.

yeah i dont know about a great corps. marshall is great, bess is a good slot receiver, but beyond that we have a bunch of average wr's and work in progresses. the oline, imo, is great however. our rb's would be close to great if ronnie could stay healthy.

I think Chad Henne will be the face of this franchise for years to come... we'll see.

I don't think Henne makes the pro bowl at all. I don't think that are receiving corps is great. I don't think we actually see the offensive potential until we get rid of Henning. As long as he's calling the plays he will certainly limit this very potent offense.

I believe if Ronnie Brown is healthy that he would be the only one to make the pro bowl because that is how Henning likes to call the game.

jake long should make the pro bowl too. and im sure brandon marshall will also...heck, he made it with kyle orton throwing to him.

I think you're wrong... we had to run the ball because we had a "rookie" QB and no WR targets last season... and still the last 3 games, we passed the ball more than 30 times per game. So hold your horses there... I think Henning will have some fun creating new plays for our offense.

Actually the offensive line will be a huge question mark and may take some time to gel as a unit. Our receiving corp was mediocre at their best, and dismal quite often. With adding Marshall we will see improvement, but overall I would say they are likely average or slightly above. The running game will be dependent on the offensive line, and the health of our backs. I'm not quite ready to say that Henne will post pro-bowl numbers in his 2nd year starting, but it is certainly possible under ideal conditions. I guess we will have to wait and see how the players develop as a squad.

I don't know about him going to the prowbowl this year. This is the fist time he a has had a real threat at (wr) and a soild running game,maybe with 1 more year with this new talent he can make it.

I think we happen to have a great WR corps... With Marshall at #1, then we have a great slot receiver in Bess, and I'm convinced this season will be a breakout year for Brian Hartline, that kid has speed, hands, he falls forward and he's never afraid to take a hit, I think with the addition of Marshall the NFL will really see the true talent level our receivers

I think great is to strong of a word for are (wr) group, would say more of a threat now. Last year teams weren't afraid of the pass and we got away with some long passes, but not enough to say they were great yet. With Marshell I say more of a threat not great.....yet at least.

Alright, I wouldn't say great now because we haven't seen them perform together with Marshall on the field but I think we have great POTENTIAL, potential to be an above average WR corps, we don't have any burners but we're stacked with possession receivers who know how to get open and fight for the extra yard

I agree with that....

No WR targets? You mean other than the 77 balls that Bess caught. Hold my horses? We ran the ball because that is our biggest strength and because Henning has always been a conservative OC.

Well, adding one guy though he is a beast does not make us 'great' in the Receiver corps.

I believe it will be Marshall and Hartline starting, and Bess and Camarillo doing occasional duty as #2 and all-the-time duty with the Slot/4 wide stuff.
That is a WR Corps of a legitimate #1 and several reliable but as yet not complete #2s.

It is probably perfect for our Offense, because we're not going to be throwing it 40 times a game if we can help it.

However, at TE we are a complete question mark. Until Fasano gets over that big hit he took in the Georgia Dome vs. the Falcons and starts making plays, then we are a Haynos/Sperry away from being desperate at the position.

We do not have as good a WR corps right now as the Patsies. I do think we compare favorably with the Jets and Bills WRs, especially with Marshall, but I do not think we rank as 'great'.

I personally don't care if Henne makes the Pro Bowl or not. I just want him to take us to the playoffs. I would be perfectly happy with us running the ball down our opponent's throats 50+ times a game and having Henne occasionally hook up with Marshall on a play action pass downfield. Bottom line, I just want to win! And of course to beat the Bills, Jets, and Patriots twice!
