"Many observers believe Foerster, who was a tight ends coach with the Colts last year, got the coordinator job because Wannstedt can keep a tight leash on him. If so, that means even more conservative play calling."
Here's the link.

The article also says:
"Foerster is a fine assistant coach with 11 years of experience in the NFL, but the Dolphins need to change their offensive philosophy -- and that doesn't seem likely."

Symptoms/Findings
The primary characteristics associated with TS are multiple motor tics and one or more vocal tics. Motor and vocal tics may develop at about the same time or predominate at different times during the course of the disorder.
Initially, patients develop sudden, rapid, recurrent, involuntary movements (motor tics), particularly of the head and facial area. At symptom onset, motor tics usually consist of abrupt, brief, isolated movements known as simple motor tics, such as repeated eye blinking or facial twitching.

Would you say that the Dolphins were conservative in the Dallas game on Thanksgiving? I wouldn't. What was the difference? Jay played excellent. When the Dolphins QB (whoever it may be) plays excellent, Miami will be explosive.

Your right Wanny will have control over P-C but it could be much worse..
Muck said:Listen, could the reason for Wanny being conservative on offense have anything to do with the fact that the offensive personnel has generally stunk the last few years??
Who here would have wanted to see Jay Fiedler behind that offensive line chucking the ball 35 times a game?? It's hard to execute a play-action pass when your offensive lineman struggles just to sustain a block. It's equally difficult when you're quarterback doesn't throw with much velocity and isn't overly accurate to begin with. And the trifecta becomes complete when you only have one WR capable of getting open.....and he's double-teamed.
When the OL becomes better, when the QB play gets better, and someone else is able to get open, then Wanny won't be quite as conservative. We will execute our bread-and-butter plays with far greater success. And as a result, we will have the luxury of taking more chances and getting creative.
Still, the new offense is supposedly in place. The whole point of not bringing in another OC was to keep that offense in place. So we shall see what happens.

The sad thing is, for me, I believe all of the above to be true. I have been a Fins fan since the George Wilson coaching days, and let me tell you I was always, always an optimistic fan til Wannstedt came as an asst coach to be groomed to take the head job. I waited, I gave him time to see what he could do. I thought Fiedler might work out (he'd done a couple of good games for the Jags). But alas, it's not to be. It's really sad but I truly think the highlight of the 2004 season for me will be Wanny getting fired mid season (if not before).
