Henning vs. Fox: NFC South matchup of the week

Think Henning will have something just for us

You might recall that Fox fired Henning as his offensive coordinator after the 2006 season. It was a classic case of Henning serving as the scapegoat for a disappointing season that was caused by lots of other factors. Fox caved to pressure on that one and fired a veteran coach who was good enough to get the Panthers to the Super Bowl in the 2003 season, was thoroughly respected in the locker room and even more respected around the league.

coaches sat on a plane on the way back from a bad loss to the cardinals last yr.....they said "how can we get both our best players on the field" david lee remembered the offense he ran with felix jones and darren mcfadden as the offensive coordinator at arkansas in 2007. the next week Vs new england the nfl met....the wildcat.

I know your right...im just saying henning brought it to the nfl in 2006 with d williams...I was at that game but ya they did it before that at arkansas I am guessing...not too sure tho

Yeah, we used it stubbornly but with much success in the 2006 game against the Falcons. Wonder why it didn't catch on then?

not sure...

both of them (henning and lee) came together to make it happen in miami (the type of WC offense you see was not ran by you guys....you had no motion back...deangelo just ran up the middle.....lee brought with him the motion back jet sweep....and the other stuff added on to it

you dont quit do you? :D

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
