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.

      Bryce isn't a risk-taking gunslinger.  That's just QB DNA.  No one has ever said that is what we were drafting when we went that route.  That's my point.  That's not Bryce. Can you make Alex Smith throw deep? Sure.  He will occasionally.  In the reverse, can you ask Brett Favre to just take the easy layups? Sure.  He can in moments.  But in the end, they are what they are.  as I have said, Canales probably could win more games with PJ Walker.  And Bryce is a better overall QB than PJ.  PJ Walker would also have much worse games mixed in that Bryce would.

      From what i see, Canales offense requires a QB that is willing to take chances to maximize the offense. XL is also the kind of receiver that needs a qb to be risky to bring out his full potential. Its just a matter of if Bryce is gonna be that QB.

      Baker just played how Baker played.... everywhere but here. He is a risk taking gunslinger.  Always has been.  And last year was asked to be what he was.   Geno Smith was the best deep ball passer in the NFL his comeback season.  Wasn't even close that year.  Again, that's the type passer Canales has always been around in the offenses he has been part of.  The pass game that compliments the stubborn run is the deep chunk play pass game.   And that was his first investment with XL.  My continued point, is the same as going into last season.  It's a bad marriage going in.  The QB doesn't fit the scheme.  Again.  Carrol/Fox/Ron....all paired up their boring football with risk taking QBs.  And again, I'm fine if that is where we are going.  It's not my preference but that's not my argument.  I'm saying if we are doing that, we need a QB that matches it.
