...has the offensive acumen of retarded giraffe.

It is also possible that Henning does not posses the ability to see beyond 10 yards, and is thus still under the impression that Pennington is the Fins' QB.

welcome to the board krunk fu!

Loved taking over on offense to instantly blow 2 plays with 2 quick poorly efforted and executed wildcat plays. Then it's "here Henne it's 3rd and 9, go convert this 3rd and long after having not touched the ball up to this point" Wonder how long it'll take before the coaches realize this is a stupid thing to do.

I think Dan Henning is a pretty decent offensive coordinator. But the Wildcat has to go. It just doesn't work anymore and it clearly takes our offense out of its rhythm.

Here's a typical Dan Henning play-call as relayed to Chad Henne:

"Hey Pennington, hurry up and beat these hoodlums so I can get out of here and catch the early bird specials over at the Sizzler. By the way, do you remember where I parked my Cadillac?"

Wildcat is ok but Ronnie made a couple of wrong reads today. The last hand-off to Ricky, he should have kept it and ran left....wide open.

He said last week that the reads are something he needs to improve on.

You watch...it will produce some points this year.

two years ago Henning was a genius and now he sucks? He is fine...34 rushes today and 34 passes.

I want to see more passing out of the WC.

I really am getting sick of the wildcat. the 3-5 yards it picks up is not worth getting henne out of rythem, and eliminating any possibliy of the D fearing the pass or the QB checking off into a pass play based on a mismatch

The offensive play calling in general was exactly what I've been complaining about. It is way too conservative and predictable. Seriously, nothing about the wildcat is un-predictable. Nothing about running a draw or screen on 3rd and long is un-predictable. Nothing about running on first down, and then again on second down is un-predictable.

It is getting to the point where everyone knows what we are going to do before we do it.

People please shut up about the wildcat.

I dont understand why we have all these haters about a formation which at one time rulled the league.

Our team brought it back, and it still works.

It doesnt always work, but if your just going to complain please dont do it on here or go root for the Jets.

Henning is a double edged sword, when his plays work there great, but when they fail its just stupid watching.

Its a hit or miss with the guy? Personally I feel he is too conservative, and get's lazy at times.

I think you are right. He just seems to call whatever plays he called before, regardless of the defense.

I'm just going to bump this thread after every game, because its fairly obvious that it will continue to be relevant for 16 weeks.

Ohhhh man Im spot on again about Henning, WAY TO CONSERVATIVE!!! HELLO THERE IS A THING CALLED THE SHOT-GUN FORMATION YOU SHOULD LOOK INTO IT HENNING!!!

It was to conservative today

The only good thing about the conservative playcalling is that it doesn't give the Jets much to go on.

I was thinking about that. I waunder if we will let it lose against them, and are we playing in our orange uni's this year??

To say Henning is a retarded giraffe is a little out of line.

I don't even know what he means by that. Retarded Giraffe??? What???

I know, Dolfan Mike. It should be mentally challenged giraffe.

The big problem with the wildcat is that you need to win the battle on the lines for it to work. Minnesota was crushing the line as the game went on and the biggest problem is that if Ronnie is never going to throw, or is always going to take it up the gut when he keeps it, it makes the job really easy for the defense.

Final score...

Miami 14

Talk about us being too conservative when we're on the short end of the score.

Don't understand people calling us too conservative in a WIN!!!!

Ok just over 200 yards offense one score. We had really stupid play calls, but it worked so hey?

I want some shot gun formations in certain situations like great offense's run? To much to ask I guess.

I dont wanna spoil the wildkat party but if henne is to become a legitimate superstar QB we need to just use it once or twice in a game just to have teams spend their so valuable practice time planning for it. Thats it just once or twice just to thow people off.

Henne needs all the reps he can get. I really dont wanna see that wildkat to many more times.

A "special" giraffe is what we like to call it.

Yea. I think the WC has been figured out by a lot of teams. We are still averaging over 4 yards with the play, but no longer a big play threat.

The problem isn't the Wild Cat play. Its the play we run after the Wild Cat. If we don't take it to the house, the entire offense gets out of rhythm and the drive stalls.

I credit Henning for being innovative enough to install the wild cat. But at this point a real innovation would be NOT to run it. For a few weeks teams we play will still work on stopping it, but then everyone will think we've shelved it. Then late in the season or in the playoffs, when no one is expecting it, we run the WC.
