Jauron admits Wildcat formation requires extra prep

[SKOOBY]

Dolphins RB Ronnie Brown feels there are a lot more wrinkles that can be thrown at opponents out of that formation.

 

“It’s exciting,” said Brown. ”It creates opporutninties to get more people on the field and get the ball in more people’s hands and kind of create mismatches. It’s something for the defense to worry about. It’s exciting to do that on this level.”

2-4, keep trying.

Jauron may be right about the extra prep, but it's not like it's a secret anymore.

Ronnie Brown sounds like one of those peope who prefers exciting loses over winning games. As long as he has fun out there. It's a gimmick offense that you can't build a scheme around. It works every once in awhile. When it's your bread and butter. It'll only lead to trouble

[BillsVet]

Baltimore, upon seeing the formation, blitzed and kept on blitzing. From Tony Sparano:

 

''Really, what they did was they tried to disrupt the timing, I think, by pressuring it a little bit inside,'' Dolphins coach Tony Sparano said. 'They brought an inside linebacker a few times right into the `A' gap one way or another and I think that's probably what they did.''

 

Balitmore v. Wildcat

 

You can bet Miami's OC Mr. Henning (!) will throw some new things in there. It will take the same level of ingenuity from Jauron and Fewell to combat this gimmick offense. I hope they adapt if their initial plan isn't sufficient, but I think they'll be prepared.

I disagree. Dr. Z of SI, who I respect, says if a team really committed to the principals of the single wing it could do some real damage today. I tend to agree.

A REAL commitment to the single wing, wouldn't involve Chad Pennington anywhere on the field.

I respect Dr. Z as much as the next guy. However you take these offenses. Like the single wing, The option or it's many variants. Due to the speed of nfl defenses would negate any advantage these offenses have as your base package. It works in Highschool and college, when you have a vastly uneven level of talent. It works as trick plays in the NFL. The dolphins playing the wildcat is just asking one of these weeks for pennington to get killed spread out wide. They're doing it to limit the weaknesses. They're overkilling the use, by using as their main way of scoring points. As we've seen the past few weeks. It's only going to go downhil. As a change of pace offense. It has potential to catch a team off guard. If you think you can build an offense around slow developing run plays in the nfl, where patrick cobbs may get behind your secondary. It's generally going to end in an ugly fashion. It worked for awhile. I expect in the coming weeks Miami will fall sharply, due to their lack of talent. An athletic Defense like the Ravens is just the beginning of how bad it will get for them.

I'm really looking forward to this matchup for a couple of homer reasons.

 

First, I heard some talk on Sirius NFL last week that the way to screw up Miami is to blitz when they're in the wildpussy formation. Disrupt the play. Now, I also agree that they can do some more things with it, but once I saw the reverse flea-flicker to Pennington for the score, the first thing I thought was "They're running out of things to do with it" and the second thing I thought was "At this point, they need to score on that play. And even if they do score, they're not going to be able to repeatedly run the same successful play during a game any more. They caught the Patriots* so flat-footed -- to the extent that the Pats* defensive players admitted they had no idea what the !@#$ they were doing -- that it can't be the core of their offense any more. They shot their wad.

 

I guess what I'm saying is, I don't expect us to completely kick their ass this weekend, but I sure as hell don't expect to watch the Bills get beaten by the stankypussy formation.

 

I know I was never eligible to actually participate in the Punt, Pass & Kick competition, and I'll even admit I've never reached the vaunted apex of playing football in high school, so take this with a grain of salt, but to me, this nastypussy formation is a gimmick. It did what it needed to do: double the number of wins from last year. Part of me feels like it has run its course.

 

Plus...and this is really important...did you know that fish fans have no genitalia? In fact, the closest they've actually come to genitalia is that Miami is where they shot the famous porn flick "Rocky XXXII: Brown Eye Of The Tiger" staring GeniTalia Shire. Dem are some desperate fans these days.

All I know is if Chad P lines up at any offensive threat position UNLOAD on him

exactly!

 

best way to defend it is to put Whitner/Scott on Pennington and when that ball is snapped, make it the hardest 5 yards of contact lil Chad has ever felt.

[NicholasCal1]

it all comes down to how well you block and how well you tacle. i'm the coaches talk to other coaches who use or defend against that type of offense.the key is pressure up the middle and being disciplined

[lets_go_bills]

I have no doubt we'll see some looks in the Wildcat formation. But the reality is, the Dolphins are 2-4. Last week, the Ravens shut it down. I can only imagine that Dick and Perry will be showing/studying that tape.

 

I'm sure we'll be moving one safety a little closer to the line so the fish see some 8-in-the-box. Pennington doesn't scare me at all. We have absolutely owned him when we play him.

Here's a good article on the Wildcat ; Linkage

 

 

If you click on the link on the left side of page two you'll see three plays diagrammed.

 

I think Buffalo is going to use it a few times against the Poorpisses this week. Lynch threw a pass last year and so it's possible. Roscoe is very fast and they could use him too on the fake sweep.

[scoring is not hardy]

I say we run the old wildcat once with lynch, just to mock the dollfags. that would be classic.
