USA Today reports that QB Chad Henne knows that he must improve his accuracy in order for the team to reach the next level:
Chad Henne has thrown nine interceptions the past five weeks – and at least one in each game – after throwing just three his first seven weeks as a starter so it’s no surprise when he admits one of the primary areas in which he must improve this offseason is throwing touch passes. “A guy like me who likes to shoot the ball in there all the time,” he says, “you realize you have to step back and understand that instead of ‘windows,’ you’ve really got to get it over. Because there are more throws over linebackers and safeties, and that is what I’m learning and that’s where my game needs to improve.” No one would expect him to have mastered everything a dozen games into his career as an NFL starter. Yet, it’s still jarring whenever Henne sails a pass three feet over the head of a running back in the flat or rifles one a bit too hard on a short crossing route. “Like anybody in the league, when you get back there, there’s a sense of urgency to get the ball out and you want to throw it hard,” Dolphins offensive coordinator Dan Henning says. “You’ve got to learn how to throw it hard but with a little arc and a little pace.”
