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

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.

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.

He had decent coverage that play.

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

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.

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.

    • I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best 
    • I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.
    • I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
