Before your heads explode to this idea due to the fact our current WR corps is subpar compared to a lot of teams........just a question. Instead of pulling that "wildcat" crap again which is to me a wasted down why not try different approach. It seems that this McNutt character is a talented player with good hands and size,Hixon is a good route runner and Ginn has the wheels,along with Lafell who is playing better ( need more consistency) why not try this on a play or two. Cam tends to throw a high ball so ths may be an advantage for him.I guess he has been getting reps with the second team and he should know the play book a bit.Hopefully we can grab a lead and try something not expected, throw them a curve ball....something we never do.A four wide set and see what they can do with it.

Hey, I'm willing to try different things somtimes. 

 

But why not try McNutt, with Olsen, and the two biggest other receivers, if height is your concern?

 

Of course, you can always try your way for diversity (4 wide receivers). However, if you're doing that, why not just put in the 4 best guys (including Hixon), unless you just want to be purely experimental  in a tough game in Atlanta with the division crown riding on it, with this McNutt character????

The coaches' insistence on running a basic Wildcat is really baffling to me when there is so much crap you try from it... and don't say it's a Shula thing because Chud never tried anything either. We've been setting up that fake wildcat for three years now and all we've gotten is one screen pass to Cam (2011) and a fake wildcat to Smitty (last week). We need to try and innovate with that set... get Cam out wide, bring him back in, and then set up some Cam-Ginn-Dwil double reverse or something. I mean, you're not going to see DeAngelo throwing the ball so why act like it's going to happen?

 

As for the set, I have no problem with it but the problem is we either lose Olsen or D-Wil/Tolbert in a four-wide set. I very highly doubt it's worth taking them out to give McNutt or King a shot IMO unless it's the last play before half or something.

I'm not saying this is something to do on a regular basis by any means......but instead of flushing a play down the toilet with that horrible "wildcat" crap thst never works,try something else....can't be any worse then that.

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
