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?

    • How about just don't draft project players in the first round? How about especially when you have arguably the worst roster in the NFL(we did all those years in question)? You don't even have to dig into those player debates specifically. Just don't grasp at straws early in the draft.
    • I think there were 9, and since I haven't took time to watch each of them on each play individually Its impossible for me to say, which I doubt you have either.   It's not a stat driven grading system; it's a per play grading system.  Tommy Tremble making a great block to spring Rico for that 10-yard run might actually score higher on that play then Ricos run. The actual run might not be anything special; it might be a run that pretty much every back in the league would have made. Here again, I would guess, if you look at every RB in the league, he is towards the top in rushing grade for the year which is what most of us are seeing.  Whether you call that a 90/80/70, 50/40/30, A/B/C, Gold/Green/Red star, it doesn't really matter it's how he ranks relative to everybody else at his position.      
    • Well I will never knock a strong arm, in a vacuum, but it is a lot more than that to it.  Did we kill our roster building and our defense in particular to stick PJ out there?  No. We knew we sucked and he was really just a temporary thing too.  While with Bryce I see the up and down, mostly down, roller coaster on loop now in year three. It has been a Looooong time.    Back to strong arms, it is like having a powerful motor in a car. All the power in the world isn’t going to overcome a bad driver.   But at the same time, even a decent drive with a killer car will beat the best driver if you put him in a go kart   Exaggerating for effect, I know Bryce is not a go kart. Maybe closer to a 6 cylinder with not much displacement…..
