NFL Week 8 interview

Welcome back to Henry's rundown of all the action in week #8 of the NFL season. This time we're returning to the generic Q&A format, so take it away Hen!

Q. At this point in the season, who's the NFL MVP and why?

It's hard to tell. The usual favorites are all failing to do well in such an odd season.

Q. How about Coach of the Year?

At this point, either Jeff Fisher or Tony Sparano. Although Fisher's Titans have more wins, both coaches have turned around teams in turmoil.

Q. Rookie of the Year?

Chris Johnson, the quick Titans back. He's an integral part of the Titans' effective running attack, along with LenDale White.

Q. What coaches are on the hot seat right now? And in each case, is it their fault or are they just saddled with inferior personnel?

Marvin Lewis and Rod Marinelli, the coaches of the two 0-7 teams. They are saddled with inferior personnel, but they aren't introducing anything innovative to help their teams, like Tony Sparano is.

Q. I sure do like Mike Singletary. Liked him as a player; like him as a coach. Did you agree with his post-game rant? What do you think he was trying to accomplish?

Mike Singletary, usually known as a quiet coach, made a very disagreeable postgame rant. But he knows not to expect patience from the media, and also won't tolerate insubordination on what he's trying to establish as a smashmouth team.

Q. Elite NFL teams like the Colts, Patriots and Cowboys seem to be struggling this year. What's the problem?

They have to deal with injuries, i.e. Jeff Saturday, Tom Brady and several running backs and Tony Romo, respectively.

Q. In your 2009 NFL Preview, you picked the Super Bowl as Patriots-Cowboys. Care to revise that prediction? Who are the Super Bowl teams right now?

Well, now the Patriots have a chance to make it back to the AFC's elite, so don't count them out. But I can't submit a prediction. Why? There is no elite! The AFC's main good teams are the Patriots, Titans, Bills, Steelers and several 4-3 teams. The NFC has the Redskins, Giants, Panthers and even more 4-3 teams plus the 5-3 Cowboys.

Q. At this point, how would you assess the Brett Favre/Aaron Rodgers derby? Who's winning and why?

Well, the Packers and Jets are both 4-3. Both quarterbacks have been up-and-down. But right now, at least by public vote, it's Favre. We haven't seen Rodgers in a while. Rodgers has also been injured, and Brett Favre has just had many more memorable performances.

Q. Who's the most improved team in the NFL this season?

The 3-4 Dolphins. By adding a nice new set of personnel, along with the Wildcat formation, they've played well.

Q. Kind of an off question: Who's your favorite NFL broadcasting team and why?

Al Michaels and John Madden. Why not? They're pretty much the voices of football.

Q. What NFL websites do you habitually visit?

NFL.com is one. They're a great source for up-to-date news and transactions. I also frequent the NFL Transactions section of KFFL.com and the NFL section of ESPN.com.

Q. Now we come to the point where Hen can type whatever he wants.

Adam Schefter joked that Rob Ryan needs a Coors Light commercial earlier in the year; well, now Mike Singletary needs one too. Put him on the waiting list!
