Sorry, I can't seem to be able to post the info without it looking all retarded but if you go to the link I have from the bottom you will see how the Dolphin offense did during the season and how the passing game was more of a factor especially the last three weeks of the season.
I think it is safe to say the last five weeks of the season Henne carried the offense, not the running game (I'll even take away the last game of the season against Pitt even though the running game wasn't doing anything.
Other then Buffalo week 4 I fail to see to where the running game 'carried' the offense. If there was ever a team who's running carried the team it was the Jets.
I got the stats from www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/mia/2009.htm.
Games Henne was 200+yards his record was 3-4, that's not really carrying a team.
Last 5 games
Week 13 vs. NE - Miami was down 21-10 in the 3rd Q. (2 TD 1 INT)
Week 14 @ JAX - Miami 40 rushes - 146 yards. (0 TD 1 INT)
Week 15 @ TEN - Miami was down 24 -6 in the 3rd Q. (1 TD 3 INT)
Week 16 vs HOU - Miami was down 27 -0 in the 2nd Q. (1 TD 1 INT)
Week 17 vs PIT - Miami was down 27 -10 in the 4th Q. (2 TD 3 INT)
In the last five games for Miami, four of them Miami was down by at least two scores at one point in the game. Also, Henne threw 6 TD's and 9 INT's in the last five games. While his yardage was good, that's too many INT's late in the season. What that tells me is that they had to go to the pass game because teams were concentrating on the run game early and when the game was on the line late, Henne choked. I think it was a good lesson for him, but to say he looked good, especially since he lost the last three games when Miami controlled their own destiny, kinda stinks of homerism.
