I read so much crap about Dan Henning and how he is the worst OC in football. I really want to know how you would scheme up an offense for the Miami Dolphins of 2009? You are working with essentially a rookie QB, who can't make any touch passes. You have a 32 year old RB who can only carry the ball effectively 15-20 times. You have a group of receivers who are average, every single one of them has big holes in their games. You draw me up an eefective offensive plan.:crazy:
 
Activate a 5th WR for the game. Run more screen plays. Catch up to today's NFL offenses. Down 24-0 and come out with Cam on one wide and do a play action on critical downs? Good god. Please, putting Haynos, Fasano, Cam, and Polite out there to run routes against 4 DB's is a joke.
 
More shotgun and 4 wide receiver sets. This would be great for Henne, our good possession guys, and our potential #1. More screens. Less TE and 1 WR sets.
 
yea for real that 2 TE set kills me when i see them lining up in it.


I wouldnt be so conservative. Our receivers run such short routes. Henning doesnt do a good job of mixing the pass and the run together effectively. He calls trick plays at bad times, brings the wildcat and pat white in at crucial moments. The guy is just a mess. Hes way too conservative and hes too set in his ways. That conservative crap has got to go. We take 8-10 minutes to score a td because we run such short plays and get yardage in small chunks. It takes us 3 plays to get a first down. Henning sucks.
 
How about you play better defense...We were down 17 to nothing before we even knew it...

Our D cant tackle worth a damn....

We are running team...but Grove has been out and we cant stop anyone...So what running team can win when they are down 24 to 3 at half??

Still Henne has looked damn good with average WR's and no running game.
 
I was actually wondering why we were still not running the ball when we were down by 17 after the INT by Bell

That's true, but we only scored 10 points in the first half.
 
couldnt have said it any better, in obvious passing downs, and you lineup with 2 te's and 2 rb's.... an absolute joke imo. You lineup in that and pass out of it on 3rd and 1 not 1st and 10 down 24 points. This just doesn't fall on henning, because Sparano has allowed it all year. Sparano has done a decent job with this team, but this team is struggling because he just isnt a game day coach. With Cowher, Gruden, and Shannahan available this is the year to make a switch.

Well when your a running team and you dont run the football that tends to happen..Also we did have a turnover..

and the Texans came to play..they knew we wanted to pound the rock...

They were ready for it
 
the defense lets up so many points but the offense had like 50 yards the first half before our final drive of the half.
 
Had Carpenter made that long FG than a TD ties it at the end..
 
what really pisses me off is when its like a 3rd & 7 and our receivers run routes shorter than the 1st down marker! It happens alot too...i just dont get it. Its not like our receivers are beasts after the catch or anything.

It was actually 3...but whos counting..

Texans had alot of 1st down sacks....

I really believe that Grove should have started this game..

We have def missed him

Yea but they know where the Marker is too..

Henne was really bad the first half...he had alot of wild throws...

I dont really think its a scheme thing...

Injuries have really hurt us...
