WildCat

Ok. Everyone keeps making it seem like the Dolphins invented this. Everything i read is about how they run it and people are copying it. Did we not start this trend that year we played ATL, when Weinke was our QB, and we didn't want him to throw, so we just did the direct snap? I can't fully remember because i do like to have a drink and things blend together at times, but why aren't we getting the credit for this? Thats what we were running right?

brilliant! you should write a book, seriously

Yeah, I was really just asking because i don't remember anyone else doing it like we did. I really wanted to know who started it. No need to be a dick. I like how everyone came in with good honest answers and all you did was troll. Stay in Philly it suits you.

This formation is a version of the wing-T which was the predominant formation in the NFL about 60 years ago... the Dolphins just commit to it, doesn't mean they invented it. Most teams will run it every now and then to throw the defense off. The wildcat is part of the Dolphins base offense and that's why we run it the best in the NFL.

It will be harder now that Ronnie is out, but Ricky has been pretty successful with it too.

    • Teams do some super stupid stuff with mid-fairly good QBs. I think they are just absolutely terrified they will be stuck with a QB that is not the quality of the QB they have now, even if its someone like Daniel Jones. Lots of trash QBs go in the first round. I encourage you to take a look at the sad, sad list of first round QBs in the last 15 years.  
    • No, it will be a raw 6'7" 17-year-old European who just played basketball for the first time in March and who the idiot GM "had first on our board." He'll play the whole G-League season, get in 42 games for the Hornets and average 1.1 ppg on 35% shooting. Been there, seen that.
    • We missed on Burns at his peak value. That’s the problem with trading for picks 2-3 years away (which people were convinced the Rams would suck by now and these would be higher picks btw). Each year away the pick is the further in value it drops. Fitt was clearly hired based on turning us around quickly. It’s one of the many reasons tanking isn’t really a thing as our player JJ is telling you in this original article. It would take the whole organization from the owners down admitting they aren’t winning soon with Burns and picks 2-3 years away having more value because that’s when we are still rebuilding. It would only make sense if Fitt had a longer leash and would more than likely be the ones making these picks anyway which you wouldn’t want. The question is would you rather have those Rams picks with the strong possibility of Fitt still being here or would you rather Fitt try to “win now” like he did and expedite his firing? Altering the timeline would affect more than just the Rams picks.
