I was genuinely surprised with how much less we used Henry yesterday. With even average QB play, this offense would’ve looked revolutionary compared to the past couple years.
For everyone screaming that “Vrabel will never change” and that we’ll never have a balanced offense, yesterday was definitively an attempt at moving away from that.
There are a lot of dumbasses out there saying it looked the same as the Todd Downing offense. It was crystal clear from the first snap it was markedly different. I think Tim Kelly had a good game plan marred by penalties and the quarterback. The quarterback had 3 touchdowns he left on the field. Tell me why that is Tim Kelly’s fault?!
Tim Kelly did his job. Reasonable execution from the offense, and we win that game. I’m sure he will continue to develop as well, but I’m so much more optimistic since he isn’t the problem. Also, Tannehill games like this have been rare, so Im hopeful this is knocking off the rust. We looked awful wk 1 LY as well and no one remembered that several weeks later (even with a god awful OC)
unreal dumb post, man.
Now do a chart on pass vs run by running back and that will show the problem with the play calling.
And there is no scenario in a close game where Spears should have more snaps than Henry.
While overall this is a good sign, yesterday was probably the worst possible game in recent memory to use less Henry. He was fresh and he was gashing them.
Well, well, well.
Honestly if we would of just relied on Henry we would of walked out of there with a W
The question I have now is did Tannehill just have a really bad day or will he continue to struggle executing within what is clearly a more complex offense.
I was pretty happy with Kelly’s first showing! It was one of the few bright spots yesterday, actually. Just sucks Ryan couldn’t pull off the plays as called when it mattered, but it’ll be fun to watch what Kelly can put together this year.
We probably would have seen more Henry if we weren’t constantly in long yardage passing situations on 3rd down. That early down chart is really what I would expect the all plays chart to look like if this game went ‘according to plan’
btw none of that is a knock on Kelly – I was fine with the overall gameplan. I’ve just seen a lot of noise about him underutilizing Henry based solely on snap count between him and Spears and it ignores the 3rd down circumstances we faced
Kelly definitely is going to be the dude who moved this offense into a 2023 offense even if it isn’t completely successful with the current roster. But the ideas and concepts were there yesterday he just needs to find a play calling rhythm earlier.
I’m not going to argue against changing offensive philosophy, but leave Henry in on 3rd down and passing plays.
I can’t be the only one that knows what’s going to happen when they pull him out.
We ran Henry in the first half, and it seemed pretty balanced. 2nd half came, and Tim felt confident enough that he could call more pass plays to get us more points. HE did his job, because he called the right plays at the right time. TANNEHILL did not.
