This would eventually lead to the Jets either burning up timeouts or not substituting players in third and long situations. Let the offense dictate the tempo and personnel and let the defense second guess. The Dophins were way to predictable in third and long situations. Mr. Henning, are you listening?

The problem isn't the play calling (Even Miami <em>has </em>to pass from time to time). The trouble is that Henne was sacked 6 times. And what happens when you get sacked? You get put in more passing situations. If you look at their 27 pass plays, 8 took place after a sack or penalty put them in 2nd and longs, 4 were 3rd and longs, and 4 were in the final drive of the 1st half.  I'm sure Henning and Sparano would have loved to run the ball more, but you have to play the situation. The real question is what's going on with the pass protection? I'm with idahomer that Henne's holding on to the ball too long. If He keeps falling down 15 yards back, we're going to be listening to the same blog rants next week. I think I have to disagree here.
