The Morning Fix: Chiefs News From Around The Web

US PRESSWIRE

Morning Addicts. I just wanted to drop in and apologize for some of the problems we’ve been having with the site recently. I am sure you have noticed and have been trouble accessing the content. The problem is basically that the FanSided Network continues to grow and as that happens we sometimes have to switch servers. Our previous provider couldn’t handle the load any more and so we’ve switched. There were some issues with the changeover yesterday but we’re hoping that is all over now. If there are any more problems, you can still keep up with your Chiefs news by following us on Twitter (@arrowheadaddict) or on our Facebook page at facebook.com/arrowheadaddict.

Thanks for hanging in there with us and here is your Morning Fix!

A second round pick of Miami in 2008, Chad Henne spent his rookie season as the top reserve to starter Chad Pennington. He’d become the Dolphins starting quarterback the next year when Pennington dislocated his shoulder and tore his rotator cuff in Week 3 absorbing a hit from Chargers linebacker Kevin Burnett.

Pennington’s season-ending injury signaled the start of the Chad Henne era in Miami.

Henne would go on to start 31 games for the Dolphins from 2009-11, though he never seemed to have a firm grip on the job. Miami posted a 13-18 record in Henne’s 31 starts.

“There are so many aspects to evaluating players when they come out and it’s all great on tape,” Chiefs Assistant GM Joel Collier explained in last year’s Inside The Combine Series on KCChiefs.com. “But you put them in the seat and you say, ‘talk to us a little bit about what motivates you,’ or ‘let’s talk about how you reacted to being benched.’

“As a coach, one of the things you want to know is if he can take the criticism. Or, instinctively, can he communicate on his feet in a decent matter. That’s not everything, but it’s another part of the equation to the whole thing.”
