I have been busting Henning's balls all season, but today i think he called a great game all the way through. Excellent balance of run & pass!! The only bad call IMO (and it was a REALLYY bad call) was the reverse to Bess. Other than that he called a near perfect game. I loved seeing how much we ran the ball and if it isn't for ricky's fumbling, Henne's INT, and a missed field goal, we run away with this game. It feels very strange to say but "Good Job Henning!".. he actually put down the madden play book and was making some smart calls lol. Hopefully he can keep the good calls consistent and stick to the gameplan from now on.... Raahhhspect for our OC today :hump:
 
meh, at times Henning tried to get a little too fancy on his play calling, but overall I feel he did put us in the best position to win.

And I'm glad they've decided to abandon the Wildcat for the year, isn't the same without Ronnie.
 
I think in the latter half of the 3rd quarter and the early 4th quarter, they became way too conservative. Also, I dont understand why you line up with 3 tight ends, 1 wr, and 1 rb in a tight formation and try to throw the ball on 3rd and less than 3. Why not go into the spread formation if you're gonna throw it. We shouldn't depend so heavily on trickery, especially when our offense was productive and Henne was accurate all day.
 
The Bess reverse alone made this game another debacle! Henning makes too many game changing calls at the absolute wrong time. Today was not the exception, it was the rule.

Because the defense has to respect the run, opening up the short routes for an efficient 1st down. That's not trickery, that's a well designed and good play call making the defense look run fist instead of only concentrating on the pass. This also takes alittle pressure off a young developing QB, again making complete sense.

Yeah but that is one play man... horrible one at that, really pissed me off, but if thats the only really bad play he calls and makes great calls the rest of the game, I can live with that. He put us in great position to win, and it actually should have been a blowout!! If we lost this game it would have been on our Offensive players and their mistakes, not Henning.

side note: a few weeks ago, i was calling for Henning to be backhanded and fired immediately.. just thought he showed a great deal of improvement today compared to previous games
 
Henning is a monkey. There are reasons why some of these guys are retired in the first place...but seriously, he had plenty questionable calls in the second half. Our defense won us this game despite his play-calling and turnovers.
 
you guys need to chill out.. bess reverse wasn't a bad call.. Bess doesnt fumble that ball and noone would be crying.. everyone is so critical of henning but we all loved him when he instituted the wild cat (along with david lee). Hes calling what, like 50 plays a game, of course you may not agree with every play call. dude cant go 50 for 50.
 
The Henning criticism is pretty ridiculous. If we don't keep defenses honest with reverses, etc., our base offense is not successful. We need an elment of trickery since we aren't much of a threat to burn teams deep down the field. Henning has done a great job this year, as he did last year.
 
I generally agree it was a well called game. I claim props for calling two plays. We were well overdue for a nice Ginn reverse, and I knew that Henne would run one in to the right side.

As soon as the Bess reverse happened before he fumbled I thought it was a dumb play. Bess was put in a very bad position on that play. I don't think it fits his skill set unless the blocking is executed perfectly. Bad play call. Ginn can outrun everyone, bess can't.
 
Wish I could give Henning props I really do. But I have never been so pissed my entire life off that Reverse to Bess of all people before the half. I was so pissed I forgot all about the game and missed the first drive... There were plenty of WTF playcalls today. He had some good ones as he always does, but the bad ones will always blanket the good.

I did like that Henning finally learned what a spread formation is. And last week he finally learned what shotgun and slant routes were. If Henning learns what "Feed the hot hand" means, we may be in business.
 
Im pissed he didnt put Pat White in there to throw a touchdown.... - end sarcasm.

It isn't ridiculous at all. Keeping defenses on their heels is one thing. Using end arounds to Bess of all people on 2 minute drives and HB passes at the goalline are not doing that. Those are just astronomically horrific playcalls. Henning has had an abundance of those very bad playcalls, and they need to go.
