If he's going to be on the roster let's at least try to use some of his talents. Felix could certainly give us some pointers.

He also would be a nice threat to throw out of it.

Yeah because that 'Wildcat' offense didn't just get exposed by the Ravens.

It's a gimmick offense that will now be reduced to being used no more than 1-2 times a game in hope of catching the defense in the wrong alignment.

The Wildcat is dead.

I'd take a few trick plays about now.

No wait you're right - let's hand it off to barber behind procter for no gain a few more times. Now thats some creativity.

BTW - I didn't mean line up in it the whole damn game there William.

Wildcat, wildhog, wilddog or whatever gimmick you want to throw out on the field still requires a Competent OL to block and create lanes.

Right now, our OL is vasely underachieving for the amt of $$$ JJ is paying them.

I know you didn't mean the whole game but it won't work. It might work once so, yay, we'd get one play out of it. DC's now have game tape, provided by the Ravens, on exactly how to shut down this gimmick offense. It's not going to work more than once for you, at this point, and there for would be as useless as running Barber right behind Procter.

But by all means, get offended because someone didn't think your idea was brilliant.

if anything, we should scale down the playbook and get back to basics in hopes that will help the offense execute the plays better.

I do think we need to scale things back, go back to some more basic stuff, change up how we use the WR's a bit, find some better routes, quicker routes, for Romo or Brad to find TO, Crayton, RW, and company on.

I think a little less shotgun, little less seven step drop would help them and help this O-Line. Get a little more 3 step and get the ball out kind of stuff. We've got the WR's to get some yards after the catch type stuff so we should be trying to use that.

I agree with this whole heartedly and have been saying the exact same thing to my Cowboy friends at work. Can we be friends again.

My point of this thread was to find something that he could do to contribute or get him the hell off my roster and get me some CB or OLine help.

Standback would do better than BJ, he has a cannon.

One of the unusual wrinkles we've seen all season has been the Dolphins' "Wildcat" formation -- and the Ravens demonstrated in Week 7 how to stop it. As soon as they saw Miami lining up in the Wildcat, Baltimore went into full blitz mode. And while the Ravens defense was taking care of business, we saw a new wrinkle from the Ravens' offense. Baltimore went no-huddle against Miami in an attempt to keep the defense from making substitutions. The strategy paid off in Baltimore's 27-13 win.
