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.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
