Jeff Davidson, can you please RETIRE the WildCat?

[charlottenian]

It is more like the Mildcat, it never works and is very illustrated when we run it.... lets not waste the down please

It worked well...once. In Atlanta. Long ago.

We ain't the Dolphins.

Honestly, i'd rather we snap the ball to D-Will and Smitty than Jake.

Anyone see Arizona run the wildcat tonight with their safety, Antrel Rolle? He dropped back and threw a bomb to a wide-open Fitzgerald just feet from the endzone, but it was knocked out by two Giants defenders.

I wouldn't say we should retire the wildcat altogether. We just lack the creativity to use something like that effectively right now. I do, however, think we've got the personnel for it.

[Rypkord]

I just feel we are doing it wrong.

The dolphins run the wildcat because they have two strong backs. They take their QB out so everyone knows whats coming 98% of the time yet they still get yards. Why can't we do what they do? We have arguably the best backfield in all of football, an amazing WR and a decent oline with okay blocking TE's. Why not take jake's sorry ass out and actually run the wildcat with 11 on 11...with misdirection off a in motion stewart or smitty.

Instead our Mildcat is a direct snap to dwill where the whole defense can concentrate on the run with no illusions whatsoever. Its amazing that we even gain a yard.

But i guess its too much to ask fox or davidson to do something not out of football for dummies.

This is the same OC that said that DeAngelo is just going to have to learn to shake the 8th man in the box...

He clearly understands offense.

I am with the OP 100% on this one. Trying to copy a fad when you can't even come up with a decent scheme of your own is down right embarrasing.

We didnt copy a fad.

[rayzor]

what's embarrassing is that they keep trying it every week.

it doesn't work here...move on.

What.... you dont think a direct snap to D.Will and then him running directly straight into a pile of lineman for 2 yards is a good play??

I agree thought the wildcat, the way the Panthers run it, is a wasted play. Its the same everytime, like I described above.

[Bobby]

Davidson's wildcat.

[Guild]

If you are going to run it then you need to practice it and do more than immediately run right at the back of one of the OTs.

It could work wonderfully well if Davidson could draw up some tricky plays.

[Cyberjag]

If only we had personnel as good as those who used it to run all over Atlanta a few years ago. You know, guys like DeShaun Foster as a secondary option, and stud blockers up front like Mike Wahle, Will Montgomery and Evan Mathis. At least we still have Williams to take the snaps, but without the rest of that talent it's amazing our OC can get any positive yardage out of it at all...
