I'll copy and paste my post from the closed thread:
Out of that group, I'd keep Powell, Carder, Hagan, Easley, Asper, Carmon, Eddins, and Gilbert, and the last five are for depth.
Why not just have Jackson next to the QB? Jackson can receive the direct snap, if it's a sneaky run, and, frankly, can pass almost as well as Smith, if it's a pass out of the wildcat, which the Bills have done exactly once in the last 50 years. Come on. Is it really worth it to practice this nonsense?
Smart. I've always wondered why there isn't a little shop at First Niagara Center to pick up cough drops, antacids, feminine products for the lady, kleenex, etc.
Again?
Couldn't it have gone in the Schopp thread that's on the front page?

I don't know why Lindell is in this conversation. Not that I hate him; I don't.
The Mike-Mayer reference was a lot of fun for its relative obscurity. And because it reminds me of that weird Twelve Days of Christmas parody that, I don't know, was it 97 Rock?, did back then.
Christie.
Bottom line: Brad Smith ran the wildcat last year and passed for one first down out of, what, eleven attempts? The team is better off with a direct snap to Jackson. ANY team is better off with a direct snap to their RB, because that isn't anticipated. Every D knows that a team only throws out of the wildcat 10%-15% of the time. It was outdated as soon as the season in which the fins reintroduced it ended, DCs are onto it, and since no one ever throws out of it, it's a harmless "formation."
