C.J. Henderson?

[ACobra289]

I didn't get a chance to see much of the game. How did he play?

[BlackPanther21_]

Gave up a 30 yard TD to Cooper and unfortunately I didnt notice much other than that. They want to bring him along slowly.

He played along the Panthers sideline so they could call plays to him. He's still adjusting. We should see more against the Eagles.

He had decent coverage that play.

It was odd that after that play, he never saw the field again.

It was also a perfectly placed throw

Give him some time. The rest of the defense had a full offseason to learn the system. Weren't gonna learn much today either way

This is the answer.  he got burned absolutely by amari cooper, cant lie, but he's also been in our system for 12 1/2 minutes, so he's not playing instinctual ball at all.  He still deserves more than an opportunity.

He didn't play much.  I thought the coverage on the Coop TD was fine... Coop is just that good.

I will say one of the coaches did seem really PO'd after the score though.  Not sure if it was directed at Henderson.

On the TD, he was step for step with Cooper, but unfortunately lost his footing upon the balls arrival. Was an excellent pass from Dak.

I think it was over the blown coverage where the safety (Franklin) jumped a short route rather than providing designed safety help deep.

I love CJ but he was put in a bad spot out there. He is a press man CB yet he had cover Cooper with a huge cushion. Cooper went in motion and wasn't touched running wild toward CJ, and then the pass rush got man handled by that Dallas o-line causing CJ to give up a deep one. Even so CJ was right there to defend it, but Dak threw a picture perfect pass.

TBF, coaching staff was protecting.  he wasnt at fault, but he also was being fed play calls from the sideline.   I still have high hopes for him because he was burnt on an amazing pass in a defense he had learned less than a week prior.

That TD throw was beautiful by Dak and he had good placement.  Not a high percentage one and he was with it the whole time.

Henderson got beat on a double move by Cooper, but watch how he made up all the ground on the play!  It was a perfectly thrown pass by Prescott and he CJ did kind of stumble at the end.

The blown coverage on that play was Franklin not providing help on top and being sucked in by the underneath routes Dallas was running.  Either way it turned into 1 on 1 coverage and Dallas made the play.

Henderson is a steal for us, just wait.....the way he made up the ground he lost initially was really something.
