Have you noticed that Miami gets all of the credit for instituting that formation when our own Panthers did it multiple times in the last Atlanta game in '06? I remember because Chris Weinke literally attempted only 7 passes and yet we still won. ATL just couldn't stop the Wildcat.

Yep. But really, Henning was OC when we ran them here in '06, and now that he's in Miami....

He's not taking away any credit from Henning. It's obvious who's idea it was to run it. He's just wondering why nobody even picked up on it when we ran it although we had used it the whole game.

It was the fact that every play they ran from it scored in some way and it got attention cause brown had 5 total tdz, and the former 1-15 fins raped the former 16-0 patriots

I did think that tho when I first saw all the attention it was getting

didn't weinke set some single-game passing record and then the next game was that one...I was wondering what the hell the panthers were doing

You're a little touchy tonight, aren't you? I know what the man said... so you really don't need to explain it for me. Never said he took credit away from anyone. What I DID say that Henning was here when "we" ran it in '06. And now he's in Miami. The inference was here, that maybe it's somehow kind of fitting that he's still getting credit for it via Miami getting all the hype for it.

As for "us" not getting any recognition for running it "first" in '06... is that any different than any of the other press coverage we usually get?

Yea I remember that, we did the same play 10 times in a row and they couldnt stop it. We just ran and ran. John Fox must have had a raging hard-on during the end of that game.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
