Reverse psychology maybe? Or was this quote taken out of context?
I think it's the latter. Here is the full quote:
“I don’t worry about how much (Henne) can hurt the other team. I worry about how much he can hurt my team,” said Henning. “We can’t win if we’re throwing interceptions, turning the ball over, fumbling and doing all those, what Tony calls, ‘minus plays.’ We avoid them, we practice avoiding them, but we’re always trying to hit the big play.”
This was another of the items that pissed me off about the article. When was the last time we threw an intermediate crossing route or a skinny post 15 yards down the field. They just aren't part of his strategy. I think you leave alot of plays on the field and it really helps the defense out when you basically limit yourself to two philosophies on each play.
at this rate marshall won't have a 100 reception season this year.
Henning takes too much heat. If we could execute on offense nobody would care about playcalling. The fact is our offense has been inept so far. Sure Henning could try to throw more, but you could also say Henne should have done more with the opportunities he has had.
