this guy really knows how to piss off the fan base and avoid all blame and sit on his high horse, i HATE Dan Henning
When I asked Henning about claims his offense was built for Chad Pennington and not Henne, Henning shot back.
“This offense has been going on for 40 years, maybe 50 if you go back to 1958, which is where it all germinates from with Weeb Ewbank with the Baltimore Colts and Don Shula. Different people took it to different places.
(in case Henning didnt kno, its a couple days from 2011, not 1958 you senial moron)
With that said, what are Henne’s strengths, which could help us identify if it’s the playcalling or the man behind the trigger?
“We’ve seen what he can do when he gets on a run. Right now, if you take him for what he is he’s a 78-to-80 rating quarterback (average). He has some balls tipped. He hits a number of plays under pressure (he’s good vs. the blitz), and has tremendous toughness in the pocket. He’s very prepared (for Sunday’s games). The thing that he hasn’t been able to do here, whether it be due to protection, [or that he doesn't have] the receivers to do it or what have you, we haven’t been able to generate the deep pass."
“On our football team overall we’re missing dynamics (big plays). We haven’t had any dynamics. We haven’t had any dynamic kickoff return or punt return to put the ball on the plus side of the 50. We haven’t had a dynamic interception return to take it back for a touchdown the entire year. And we haven’t had but two or three (Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams’ big runs, and Brandon Marshall and Brian Hartline have both made a deep catch) dynamic plays on offense out of about 800 or so plays. We’re missing that [big play], and somewhere along the line we’ve got to find it in this team."
The team had an offense heavy draft in 2009 (Pat White, Brian Hartline, Patrick Turner, John Nalbone, Andrew Gardner) but it didn’t make the impact needed. This year the Trifecta rebuilt the interior of the offensive line, and added Marshall to enhance the offense, but the unit performed worse in Henning’s third season as coordinator.
“We haven’t done it. Doesn’t mean we haven’t tried to do it. But this group (2010) is not as efficient and consistent as that group (in 2008) was. Therefore they are not as effective as that group is. We have the same coaches. We have some players in that group who are more dynamic than we had (Marshall), but as a team we are not nearly as efficient, consistent, or effective as [the offense] was in 2008.”
When asked if he intents to retire at the end of the season, Henning joked “My intention is to be here…(small pause)…tomorrow”
