Chad Pennington says he ‘learned so much’ from new Dolphins OC Brian Daboll, and vows

Daboll will be the team’s offensive coordinator, but will almost certainly help re-coach Chad Henne, who was benched twice last year.
“He made me a better quarterback,” Pennington said, “and helped make me become a quarterback who not only understood what I was doing, but how to do it, and why – why we are running certain plays and why we were attacking certain coverages the way we were.”
After two years as a defensive assistant and five years as a receivers coach, Daboll left with Eric Mangini to become the Jets’ quarterbacks coach. With the Jets he worked with offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, whose offense resembles the same one Cam Cameron ran in San Diego and Baltimore, and is a descendent of Don Coryell’s vertical attack from the 1970s.
Pennington said to expect Daboll’s offense to blend certain Weis/Belichick/McDaniels concepts with Schottenheimer/Cameron concepts, though it won’t be radically different from the offense Dan Henning ran for three years in Miami.
“I think he’s taken what he likes from the New England style of offense, and what he’s liked from Brian Schottenheimer,” Pennington said. “I think it’s going to be a combination of things – things that he liked, and things that he felt really good about how to attack a defense.”
“There may be some things that carry over from Dan’s system, which I think is a positive,” he added, “so that everything is not totally new. And then there’s obviously going to be some new concepts and some new ways of doing things, the way Brian wants them to be done, and I think it’s certainly a positive step for the Dolphins.”
Pennington said Dolphins fans “should be excited about the possibilities,” and that Daboll, nearly half Henning’s age (68), could provide the offensive meeting rooms with a jolt of energy.
“He’s a very energetic coach,” Pennington said. “As a player, when you see the knowledge that the guy has, I think age is not important.”

KillerphinsNew MemberI figured they would bring an OC that will actually try to develop Chad Henne instead of ruin him.
Henne needs a guy with some fire to come in and light him up.
I'll believe what Penny says over disgruntled fans at a message board all day everyday. :up:

He also believes he can still come back and play..... he was also Henne's "mentor"
Personally I'd help him pack if he would promise to never come back to south Florida.

I'm with you on this one Penny is toast. Just because he says he'll come back doesn't mean it can happen. As for giving the history with the new OC I like that the guy is 35 and does a good job teaching QB's. God knows that last group of ass clowns had no clue how to do that.

Relax. He's obviously referring to our Hail Mary & QB Kneel packages.

What facts might those be?

I agree. Plus, how funny is it that the same crowd seems to be so quick to take away one's constitutional rights when others disagree with their opinions?

Dude, you tried to call Penne out for being a company guy when Penne is an NFL QB whose worked with the guy and has some insights into what he MAY be able to bring to the table. You on the other hand, have ZERO facts, experience working with him or studying his offense to add to the discussion. But instead of using the new info to lessen your ignorance just a little, you're busy talking outta your ass like most of the knee jerkers, and then you wanna play victim when you're called out for it. It's not funny, it's trolling.

Be honest, what else did you expect Chad Pennington to say? This is the same guy who went to bat for Dan Henning and Tony Sparano. I'm not putting stock in anything that comes out of his mouth, it's like hearing Barry Buetel talk.

Pennington is one of, if no the most respected guy on the team, and he remained so even after losing his job. If he's asked for a quote on Daboll, I expect him to sing the guys praises, which he seemed to do. But there was also some anecdotal stuff in the quotes that can feed an info starved man like myself. Its way too early to start talking good or bad hire, IMO. I wish Daboll was from GB, Philly, or Dallas or somewhere, b/c watching Cleveland's game is going to be a straight snoozefest.
mrozsubscriberthe most positive thing about this is that it puts us in the running for Luck... AND pretty much guarantees Tony will be gone by the end of the season.

Dorfdadforum_veteranEPIC fail did you read this?
though it won’t be radically different from the offense Dan Henning ran for three years in Miami.
This is the entire reason we sucked ass. If it's not RADICALLY different than go **** YOURSELF SPARANO AND ROSS! Seriously what we had SUCKED, was boring and lead to our demise. Why hire this man if he isn't going to change it up?

Honestly JS,
I would pay for moving trucks to get Henne's ass out of town.

Calm down. The system may not change a ton but that doesn't mean we have Henning back calling Playaction on every passing down or the Wildcat on 3rd and long.
smahtazforum_veteranA scheme change would be a bad idea with a lockout pending. IMHO
As long as Parcells, Henning and Lee are gone, I'm all for whatever Sparano decides. It's his career that's on the line and I'm sitting here in my drawers drinking Coors Light.
I also noticed the only two players that have assessed him poorly are players playing as a shell of their former selves.

Tin Indianforum_veteranThe most shocking thing I learned in this article is that Dan Henning actually had a system.

Nine plays drawn up on a piece of notebook paper in purple crayon doesn't count as a "system."
djphinfansubscribersomethin I wrote a while back...
''How would you feel if Pennington was to come back?
No way I'am giving up a pick for any of the free agent QB's out there..unless there is a secret conviction that we don't know about by Irish or Tony.
I would look into some of the free agents like Hassellback and Vince Young, and maybe sneak a peak into another teams squad for someone like Dan Lefevour just to add a body with some upside.
However, I got a feeling, especially because of the close relationship that Penny and Sparano have, and the sense that his surgery went very well, that Ole boy is gonna try to make a comeback...
If he did, how would you feel about him at the position?, and doing what we have to do to draft our favorite one and letting him sit for a year and learn what true work ethic is?..I mean if we do decide to go for a QB high or pretty high in the draft, than sitting behind Penny for a year would be ideal no?
You know he's thinking about it, and you know Sparano is thinking about it, especially in this most pivitol year, so if their thinking about it, we need to think about it.
If he comes out and say's he feels great and wants to come back?.. I believe I would be about it.
Iam happy as hell about this...I think he thinks DR andrews did somethin special to his shoulder...FU#@ YEAh...Iam gonna be rootin for this mother grabber real hard
