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.

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.
BraveHeartFan;2362300 said: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.

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.

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.
