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

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
