Chad Henne the Dolphins Offseason Off. Coordinator?

Feb. 28 News and Notes 2 comments ---Bill

In a very interesting story, Ben Volin of the Palm Beach Post discusses the Dolphins’ contingency plans for the NFL Lockout. Volin says that Chad Henne has been working with new Dolphins Offensive Coordinator to learn the team’s new offense. You’re probably saying to yourself  “of course, he should be!”  But, Henne is not only learning the offense for himself, he’s learning it so that he can teach the Dolphins other offensive players during a Lockout. Yes, the same Chad Henne that struggled in 2010 will be leading the Dolphins offense practices this offseason if there’s a Lockout.

Another interesting note from Volin is that the Dolphins players plan to start offseason practices in late March on their own, if there’s a Lockout. Remember, players can’t work at team facilities or with their coaches during a Lockout.  So it is critical that the players begin preparations for the 2011 season when they normally would.  We wondered if this would happen and we hope many of the Dolphins players take part.  I really hope the media is out at the Dolphins Player Practices, because it will be interesting to see who steps up to lead when no Dolphins’ coaches are around.

      The Dolphins suck at this moment they are on the road to repeat their 1-15 season or worse .My Dolphin Flag is flying upside down as with every other momento in my home. DAN MARINO WHERE ARE YOU!!!!!!!! I am not going to reiterarte the other blogs, but a change needs to be made. How about bringing Coach Shula back. Marshall inserted his foot into his mouth……we dont need a TO, If we had a QB then maybe he could run his mouth, but no we dont have one. If we did Welker would be here and nont with NE. The Dolphins always work on the wrong things…….get rid of JI.
