Said some nice things about how he did considering what he had to work with, but nevertheless ranked Henning 19th out of 32nd. Jason Garrett ranked #1, Schottenheimer #7, Belicheat #10. While I'm no fan of Henning, still IMO, this is purely subjective where he's penalized for stretching limited offensive tools and a 1st year starter, while Schotty is actually rewarded for a 1st year starter, 2WRs better than ours and the #1 running attack and completely ignoring his team's pizz poor divison record and extended losing streak.

19. Dan Henning / Dolphins
Known for being a more traditional, run-first offensive mind, Henning was forced to move away from a more gimmicky offense after injuries took their toll, and he still kept the Fins competitive despite youth at quarterback and few offensive playmakers.
SCOUT'S TAKE: "The head coach (Tony Sparano) does a great job with the offensive line, but Henning is very underrated. To make the transition they did after losing Chad Pennington and still move the ball was impressive. They caught everyone off guard with a gimmick offense last year, but most of the league caught on, and they went to more of a traditional offense after Ronnie Brown got hurt. You got a young quarterback (Chad Henne), an old running back (Ricky Williams) and Ted Ginn not consistent enough to trust — they didn't have a big playmaker in the offense after they lost Ronnie (Brown), but they were still in almost every game. When you can't make big plays and are still efficient moving the ball, that's a tribute to the offensive coordinator."

And we would have been even more competetive without his crappy play calling.

if we had some play makers.....i do'nt think the play calling would be in question...just my opinion
 
How does that quote go?

"Can't make chicken Salad out of Chicken Sh*t"

Give the man some weapons and then lets see how good or bad he really is.

I mean come on, WTF did he have to work with?

3 2nd rate TE's
1 Young basically Rookie QB
OL Carousel that we had going on with 3 of the 5 positions because of injuries
1 Injured Starting Runing Back
1 30+Yr Old Starting Running Back
One of our most Dynamic Players (Cobbs) Injured
And Tedd Ginn as our #1 WR.

The last one should say it all, TED FREAKING GINN as our #1 Reciever!!!

That formula may work for you in Madden on easy but it is not going to do much for you in todays NFL.

So you like watching plays being called like a halfback passes from the six, end arounds on third and 15, using Bess on end arounds..etc

Maybe you should just throw your hat in the ring and we'll see where you land after a season. The guy did some crazy ****- i will give you that, but like the writer said we remained competitive and that bodes well for when EVERYONE worth a damn isn't injured. Not to mention a second year starter at QB should help.

Maybe its me, but it didn't look like they gave our WR's a chance to make big plays besides Ginn and we all know how that went. How can you make big plays if you're not giving the opportunity. JMO
 
That Thirty Front

I HATE TO SAY IT BUT I REALLY THINK IF TYLER STARTED WHEN PENNY WENT DOWN WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE PLAYOFFS. I SAY THIS TO SAY COULD YOU ALL IMAGAINE IF WE HAD A QB THAT COULD RUN (VICK NOW) ANYWAYS, HENNE IS GOOD BUT SOME OF THOSE READS BROUGHT FLASHBACKS TO WHEN DANTE WAS HERE:ohno: WE DID RUN COUNTER TREY AT THE END OF SEASON. I SURE HOPE AL GROH IS DC.

or we could have gone 4-12. Please do not compare Henne to Dumbte.. Henne is far better for us than Dumbte could even think about being
 
The league did not "catch on" to the wild cat. They lost their wild cat QB and then had to go back to being more traditional. That is the most mis guided thing people have said since Ronnie got hurt and is just flat out not true.
 
I will never understand Henning I think it was 2 or 3 games straight called a fullback screen with Polite in the middle of the field and everytime it was stopped for either a no gain or a loss of yards. I dont give a **** what you have to work with you must have something better then giving a FB a screen. Polite is awsome but the man should not be running screens.

If I had a list of the 32 OCs he would be in the 26-32 range the man has lost it. He tries to get to cute and then it backfires. How retarted was it to put in Pat White on that 2pt conversion yes it worked but it was still a retarted play. You watch him call a game you will get to see 35% of his calls will be mind blowing and retarted.

In all honesty, on a few of those screens though, they were incomplete because of bad passes from Henne
