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?

    • Very True--and I am a former HS English teacher.  
    • Not a Moore fan-but he had a few good games last year-but I want players that scare you--Renfrow's route running and intelligence, Legette's size, speed, and strength, AT's intelligence and route running, Coker's body control, strong hands, and abilty to win contested catches, and TMac's size, body control, and ability to find soft spots in zone coverages.  Horn gives them the ability to stretch the field and he plays special teams.   Moore has a nice smile and can dance.  He filled in well last season, but to get better as a team, you have to upgrade your players.  I think Moore is a bottom of the roster guy who got bumped when we drafted 2 WRs and signed a legit free agent.  Here is the thing--TMac makes us better because he is great against the zone--man?  Good luck with that.  AT's role can be reduced, and that is probably a good thing.  He can specialize in situational football. Coker?  Just getting started. XL?  Just getting started.  Drafting TMac was probably a bit of a wake up call, but XL will be better as the 2. Renfrow?  I see him splitting reps with AT--keeping both fresh and giving different looks. Horn?  Watch the safety cheat his side when he is in the game--I see a young Steve Smith type in him, but he has yet to play a game.  I hear that Morgan loves him.
