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.

Hartline's quicker than I thought

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.

Winning football games at any level comes down to winning in the trenches.

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.

I think Tony called the plays on that drive.

How ironic. The drive of the week.

Headcoach material wouldn’t want to work somewhere they’re not trusted with actual football decisions.

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.

The Dolphins are the softest team in the NFL. Tua hater starting 12/11/22.

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

Holland is a huge upgrade over McCain

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.

This is why I think the idea of running the ball is settling for a field goal is crazy

It is when your running game is as poor as ours right now.

Ricky had an 18 yard run, what is wrong with running 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.

Did we settle for a FG on our first drive?????
