tennesseeboy Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 The offense is dead and nothing but a radical change is going to make much difference. What about taking Trent out and going wildcat with Marshawn and Jackson on the field at the the same time, Owens two tight ends and eat up clock and concentrate on running and chewing up the clock keeping the defense rested? One objection (very good one at that) is that our offensive line sucks so bad there isn't much you can do to mask the problem. I guess that the two gaurds and center can run block to some extent and we have our best players on the field where we are going to operate at our best (which apparently still isn't very good.) Pretty drastic change, but is it doable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVUFootball29 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 This team can't run a pop warner offense...how the heck are they going to run the wildcat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasper13 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 They can't run the freakin offense they have now and they have been working on that since APRIL. What they should do to prevent Edwards from getting seriously hurt or killed is to ditch the no-huddle garbage and run the goalline offense all day Sunday. Two TE's and a FB and run it 60 times. No way they even come close to winning Sunday regardless of what they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confuse all hell out of the defense. Guys lining up wherever they feel like it, false starts all over the place. For home games, they should play "Sweet Georgia Brown" over the PA. Also, lots and lots of flea-flickers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennesseeboy Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 The wildcat isn't the most difficult offensive scheme in the world. Hell I'll be any number of the players played a single wing in high school. I'll admit we haven't tried it or practiced it..but the crap we've been trying and practicing didn't work in preseason or in the first five games of the season. If the argument is that this bunch of clowns can't make the adjustment...you are probably right. However, this season is a death spiral. I'd recommend trying something different. Actually come to think of it Sunday in the mountains is sounding more and more preferable with each passing day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 All the wildcat does is snap the ball to a RB and then he runs. What is the big deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is our best player (afterall). If we're gonna be a joke, we may as well really make it funny and entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I wanna see Dick running out onto the field throwing buckets of confetti at the refs, pretty girls invited to join in the hijinks, etc... We are the Washington Generals!

tennesseeboy Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 All the wildcat does is snap the ball to a RB and then he runs. What is the big deal? Exactly...we have used wildcat plays, Lynch can throw the ball, and we would, I think, compensate for our two weakest points, the tackles. Its not rocket science as there are four basic plays. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3633005 Dords anyone think we will score points with the existing offense? The wild flea flicker, bomb throwing offense with no pass blocking and checkdown charlie at the qb? You guys must be smoking whacky tabaccy in the mountains of the Southern Tier to think that is going to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
