Miami’s Henning understands how to attack a defense
http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Tavern-talk-Dont-discount-experience.html

Miami’s offensive coordinator, Dan Henning, has been around the block -- at least three times. He’s seen the game evolve from one point to another, and he coached against Buddy Ryan back in the day, so he understands how this blitz package was built and what gives it problems. He knows football, he understands the evolution of concepts and plays, he knows how a play can adequately function, and he knows what causes a play to break down. He’s not a play drawer like so many young offensive coaches; rather, he understands how defense works and how to attack a defense.

So are all the people who were calling for his job after the first two weeks content now?

Yes, some of those calls were bad, but everyone has a bad game. I've got faith in Henning, and honestly this entire coaching staff. And now that Henning can see his downfield cannon in action against what was billed as a very tough defense, I'm sure he's drawing up some plans to make use of it.

Just as Henne is going to evolve as a quarterback, I think Henning's playbook, and play call are going to as well.

To me, Pennington was not healthy even before the shoulder injury that effected the playcalling.
