They took him away, then we lost beast, then the Oline sucks. Then Henning will not roll Thigpen out of the pocket.
Wouldn't mind bringing in Mike Martz as the head coach. At least he knows how to use a gunslinger QB as well as using RB's in the passing game, especially on screens which Henning has been terrible at since he's been here. Draft Mark Ingram and Leonard Hankerson. Profit.
Padre, they're pinning their ears back, they don't respect Thiggy throwing the ball. Henne makes teams pay when they blitz him. Check his numbers.
I think henning believes we still have a shot. Hence the throwing. Umm not good way to keep ur only qb left healthy.
I don't blame Sparano. Dan Henning once again is calling a ****ty game and putting everything ont he shoulders of a third string quarterback.
you think running the ball against the 2nd ranked run defense is the solution to this game with a 3rd string center, 2nd string guard and banged up left tackle and 3rd string QB that noone respects?
Im really starting to warm up to that idea as well. Coaches are supposed to put players in positions to make plays, and win games. This staff doesn't do that. we have an offense built for our 2nd stringer (Penny) being run by Henne. We keep kicking to Hester. We don't ever establish the run, or stick with it when it works. We have an anemic offense, have all season, we've done nothing to change it, except blame players, and blame poor execution, instead of those who are teaching it, and forcing it. Players jobs' are to learn the offense, and perform. Coaches jobs are to learn the players and tailor an offense to their strengths. We fail to that that. i understand we're pitiful tonight due to injuries, but the above holds true even when this season started, and we were healthy.
Ok..Padre. When r u going to put any blame on Thigpen? You hammered Henne ad naseum, and yet you havent uttered one complaint against Thigpen...but youve certainly offered a ton of excuses
Can't forget the complaint that we should have signed him in the offseason too, so he coulda been the future, so we could contend in 2010
At this point, if getting Gruden means Sparano has to go to make that happen, well...nice knowing you Tony.
They choke on 3rd down. They could get off the field and wouldn't have to bust their *** if they would get a stop.
eegads...because they are not ****ing blocking worth a damn. How in the hell can you have a scrambling Qb, and the mother ****ing center cannot hike him the ****ing ball, let alone pick up a blitzer? "They are not respecting his passing" No, they are whipping the Oline's *** up and down the field, they should not cash their game checks because they are stealing the money.
I agree. Always will be a Dolphins fan but the season has been so up and down, it'd be good to just let it go for the rest of the year and hope for the best come next season (if there is one).
Did anyone else notice the passrushers were just going to the spot? Why are they doing that? Gee, because they know we will not roll the pocket out.
