The Wildcat

Realize that Miami is blowing a lead, but it's rather apparent that the formation is far more than a gimmick that D coordinators will figure out.

 

For all the talk of Tebow not being a NFL worthy QB, how good would he be in such an offense? How good would Jake Locker be in running the Wildcat?

Miami's wildcat netted 30 yards in 14 plays. Worked great at the goal line, but between the hashes was pretty ineffective. Not saying it doesn't have a place in the NFL, but as a regular offense I still just don't see it.

It's incredibly effective, but it's flaw is that it's all Miami has.

They've shown us against Indy and now NO that they're more than capable of using it to gain a lead and hold it for awhile, but they have absolutely no way of playing from behind. Their two minute drill against the Colts was pathetic at best.

That is my problem with it as well. The goal in the NFL is to win games and ultimately the Super Bowl. That team will not win a Super Bowl running the wildcat. It is a cute gimmick, but over time will be less effective.

I'll admit I haven't watched them a whole lot but when I do it seems that 90% of the wildcat plays seem to be the RB taking the direct snap keeping it and running to the left side of the line.
