    Excellent thread for breaking down, you can really see that attention Marshall gets on that first Pass from Henne...Excellent execution by Henne to just relax, trust his oline, and deliver a strike on the deep out....

    Hartline almost housed that mother grabber, lol, that reverse was blocked perfectly.

    Hart did rebound well..

    I really wanna look at this later when I have more time.

    Yeah...I didn't know Hartline had wheels like that. Truthfully, I enjoyed watching that breakdown more than I enjoyed it live....you can see a lot more of the total game that way.

    Thanks for posting it.

    And this is the kind offense we need to see going here on out. If Henning can get us those kind of matchups once, there's no reason he can't do it more often throughout the game.

    If I'm Sparano, I'm sitting Henning down in the film room, and making him watch that series on loop, with a pen and paper, and telling him to find a way to repeat that all season long.

    It was a great drive for sure, but I would have preferred a drive that got the same result and took ten minutes off the clock :lol:

    You know, I'm glad we scored a TD on that drive, but if Wallace actually secures the block (instead of shadow blocking) Hartline has a real good chance at scoring on the end around.

    If Ricky was in his 20s he scores on that long run.

    How Easily we forget. Hartline did that exact same thing against Pittsburgh last year. Everyone wants to give him hell because of that fumble and a few drops but we need him.

    That first pass to Marshall on that drive was a VERY important showing of the growth in chemistry between him and Henne.

    Henne releases before Marshall makes his break or turns his head, showing he trusted Marshall to be there, and Marshall was there.

    Great sign.

    Yeah, totally agree, a sign of things to come...

    I also agree Hartline is good, when he is playing consistent as last season. Second half of the season this offense will come to life! Especially if Moss is here... If that happens though, I'd like to see Wallace stick and let go of someone else. I have a good feeling about his development.

    imagine a redzone offense with marshall, moss and wallace.
    all 3 are 6'3''+ thats three people henne could just throw a jump ball to.
    they would each demand tight coverage and open other options up.

    I would rather have Bess, he would know where the open spots to go to, while Wallace would just run around not knowing what exactly to do

    I know I didn't mean Wallace over Bess! I was always the Camarillo advocate until this season. Bess has really gotten better this year...

    I don’t know why people are happy about that drive. Once we got close to the red zone, Henning resorted to the run. In other words, the exact same thing he’s been doing this entire season, and the exact same thing we’ve been complaining about.

    Henning settled for a field goal once again.

    :lol:

    Talk about small sample sizes. You’re actually claiming that because the running play happened to work that one time, it negates all of the other times that exact same playcalling has failed this season?

    I can’t even take that seriously.

    When you are in a game you don't worry about a huge sample size. It just matters what happens in a game. if a player averages only 2.0 yards per carry, you do not bench him after he runs for 6 yards per carry in 4 carries because during the season he only runs for 2.0.

    It is basic football.

    I mean, our first drive we threw on 2nd and 3rd down in the red zone. Once Henne almost got Bess decapitated, the next Henne threw to a WR that was out of bounds already. But I suppose that doesnt count :unsure:

    WOW guys! A heated debate...

    I can see both sides. Henning has struggled called the right play at the right time this year. That timely reverse to Hartline, the TE screen in GB, and the deep Go to Marshall in Minny are the only calls that worked correctly and on time.

    Question for the board..

    Does one think that 1 drive can somehow majically sync an offense?..

    No. If it could, then one of our other successful drives would have gotten the offense in gear.

    We’re consistent at being inconsistent. That’s about it.

    There really wasn't anything special on that drive, aside from Hartline making a defender miss on two plays, and the OL making a gaping hole for Ricky.

    C'mon, Des. You know better than to make such a superficial argument. What Henning did was to take advantage of the Bengals defensive scheme (we call that "adjustments", I reckon). They run blitzed the middle very heavily in the first half and tended to overpursue quite badly. Calling an endaround followed by, I believe, the first off tackle run was precisely the right playcall at precisely the right time.

    In fact, if you want to criticize Henning, you might want to look at the first half when we literally ran into their run blitzes with the same running play again and again. We really spent an awful lot of time and downs to set up an off tackle run :lol:
