It is time for me and others to eat crow

i ate my crow a while back.

 

there's still that little matter of the wildcat.

 

that needs to stop.

 

why would we EVER need to run that play?

 

if we had an immobile QB...maybe i can see it. that just ain't even close to the case, tho.

 

someone needs to ask that in a press conference.

there are still shula plays that make me scratch my head.

 

Like when we ran an edge sweep to tolbert.

 

meh, pats had been stuffing the run all day... we caught them by surprise and got a critical first down.

 

a call is as good as its outcome IMO

Exactly.

 

No need to run the wildcat.  Our QB is as good a runner as our RB's.

We're running it for one very simple reason.

 

One game, when we really need it, we're going to throw cam the ball.

 

My money is on the 2nd saints game.

The one I'm thinking of went for a loss.  Tolbert ran the play straight toward the sideline and got gang tackled.

it could be said that we run the wildcat pretty much every time we have cam behind center.

 

the wildcat became obsolete when running QBs started being utilized more and came to the forefront.

 

the idea behind the wildcat was "how cool would it be to have an RB get a direct snap and no one know if he's going to throw it or run?" the RB rarely threw it so it was easy to diagnose and defend against.

 

the idea was good, though, so instead of having an RB who could hopefully throw the ball, they decided on a QB who could run.

I think he is talking about the play where Tolbert ran all the way to the outside and didn't even get turned upfield before getting tackled for a 2 yard loss.

I didn't get it at all.

The thing is, who is going to make that pass?

 

When Armanti was on the roster I could see this being the case.  But without the 2013 Training Camp MVP™ on the roster, who's supposed to make that throw?

    • Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.  
    • I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.  
    • Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
