Was? I would say he still is.
I haven't watched Pitt much...does he still play Wannyball?

I don't sense a serious problem with Henning's play calling. I think there's a lack of execution going on. But overall Dan Henning, Chad Henne and the whole offense are swimming in different waters compared with a year ago and they've just got to get better at it. Teams are playing them different now that Marshall is on the team. A year ago with teams mostly playing single-high against you, you could afford oversimplification and conservatism versus the shell, cuz you'll still get opportunities to be aggressive when they go back to single-high. Now they're not going to single-high at all anymore and if you don't start learning to find and execute ways to be aggressive in passing against the shell, your offense looks pretty bland.
SOME of that has been play calling I think, but a lot of it has been execution. They called some pretty nice shell-buster pass plays against the Bills. The problem was they only executed well on one of them, the seam strike to Fasano over the middle. There was a nice flag route that Marshall ran that Henne overthrew. Good call, bad execution.
Where the hell are some of you seeing a knock on Henne? What I'm seeing is what I've seen from Henning for 8 years now, which is a play not to lose approach. He cares more about limiting turnovers than sticking it to the other team. Which is a pathetic approach. He's trying to turn a gun slinger into Chad Pennington. We need to fire this clown ASAP before he ruins Henne's development.
Wow. that's a terrible thing to say about your starter. Maybe he didn't mean it like that, but still....
We'll see what happens when we have to come from behind since we haven't yet trailed in either game.
We'll see how conservative you want to be then, you moron. Let the kid loose.
The question I would ask is did he make the most out of those passesWe only attempted 15 passes....that isn't execution!!!!
