Wildcat

a few plays per game. anytime the opposing D spends preparing for it is time away from preparing for the regular O. i would definitely like to see hester and knox running toward each other and let the D decide which one to go after.

and don’t you remember last year after the dolphins had success. ron turner said he already had that formation in the playbook. yeah right, ron.

I think a defense needs discipline and gap contlrol to stop the Wildcat. Thats easier said then done.

Feild goal block stops it every time.

Some of the better players are pretty dominant running the wildcat in Madden! By the way if anyone wants to play just let me know. Maybe a little Bears vs. Packers matchup??

if it could help the Bears, why not use it? To not use it because other teams thought of it first is silly, actually that would be stupid.

Ronnie Brown is Not more elusive than Matt Forte. Devin Hester doesnt need to throw. He can be used just like how the Eagles use Desean Jackson in the wild cat. I’m not saying that Johnny Knox should run up the middle but I think he could have sucess running sweeps and reverses.

We would never use the Wildcat as our main offensive weapon. It would be like 3 times a game to keep the defense on their toes. The Dolphins defense allowed big plays and their offense was not exsplosive. That was the problem. The wildcat was not.

I live in Philadelphia and have watched both Eagles games. The wildcat has been effective for them. Then last night the Dolphins had over 100 yards in the wildcat formation. I don’t see how the wildcat is a failure.

the west coast offense isn’t a new idea. the cover 2 isn’t a…ok bad example. the forward pass was a fad too.

what’s your point?

A. I’m pretty sure Nick Saban started it in the NFL then went to college.
B. The Colts prepared for the Wildcat when they got ready to face the Dolphins. Look what happend.

Miami has played 2 playoff teams this year. I think their defense and passing game is more to blame then the wildcat.

 if they do do it it should be for short yardage with a power back.

In large part because they dedicate a huge percentage of their practice snaps to it. They know what they’re doing in it. They’ve been practicing it extensively for two seasons.

It’s just silly as a fan to “want” the Bears to run it. I don’t think the Bears are going to be good at something they practiced for 5 snaps in one week. Does anyone here seriously want Devin Hester, Matt Forte, Adrian Peterson, Garrett Wolfe, or Johnny Knox taking direct snaps? Oy. You know how many things could go wrong there?

Let Jay Cutler take all those snaps. Lord knows our offense needs the practice.

that would have one the game for them. you can’t say they lost because of it. are you saying controlling the ball for 45 is not the recipe for a win? you just can’t give up 80 TD’s all day on D.

sure unveil them especially when you have guys like Hester and Knox, but less is more. Do them from time to time to plant the seed in the mind of the opposing DC, but you don’t need to make it a habit.
