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?

we ran it one game back in 06, not near the complexity the Phins run it now, but you can say 06 was the beginning

06 was not the beginning, wow! The formation has been around forever.

on NFL total access Nov 17th they said the panthers ran it first while Dan H. was our OC. He is currently the Dolphins OC.

like the other poster said, the formation has been around since the old days...

Arkansas put it on the map in this current day.....then we used a variation of it...and now Miami is using it much like Arkansas did

Yeah, we ran it against the Falcons back in '06. The Dolphins are probably being credited for the Wildcat formation so much b/c they've had so much success with it ever since Sparano became the head coach & Henning became OC

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.

It started with Philly and we copied them. We cant take the cred for it cause Philly ran it on us the same year we ran it in 06.
