They Need To Abandon The Wildcat

The Bucs' stout run D stifled several drives, not the wildcat. The Jets actually had some of their better runs out of that formation today.

And its nothing like them pulling Sanchez & putting in Tebow last year. Geno never actually leaves the field, just splits out wide

 

We are against the best run D from last year. Give it some time.

 

The wildcat has gotta go. Geno won it for us.

 

The more MM becomes with The Genie, the less we'll se the wildcat.

 

yeah wild cat was terrible, you know they just put it in there because they didn't trust Geno. That should change bny ext week

 

I'm not against the Wildcat against certain teams or situations but against the Bucs number 1 run defense was a giant mistake. Call it once or twice on short yardage plays

 

The wildcat was much better than our normal running game today. Give the Bucs credit they are a very good defense and they dominated our OL all day long.

 

I'm not against the WC when we snap it and the RB goes up the middle. IT seemed to be much more effective than normally running the ball up the middle.

 

Hopefully they use the wildcat once or twice a game. But I guess they used it to try to gain some type of rushing yards.

 

agreed! MM will gain more confidence in him! His playbook will be vastly different in a few weeks. I liked the style of Geno.

 

Nothing wrong with running it. They were trying to take some heat off Geno. Trying not to let a rookie QB throw the ball 50 times in his NFL debut is a good thing. It was obvious the standard running players weren't working so throw in a gadget play to change it up.

 

I'm all for a trick play here and there fake punt and all that but, the Wild Cat is like quick sand, it has to go.

 

I agree but it was to help Geno and the Bucs have amazing run stopping ablilites

 

I hope they don't bother with the wildcat very much against the Patriots. I'm still reserving judgment on it because Tampa had the #1 run D last year, but I'm not sure if it might still have some potential since it's not Tebow doing it.

 

That's a terrible nickname...

 

We should add some pistol, the WC is essentially a neutered pistol offense with no passing threat.

 

Agreed. I think that will be exactly what happens.

 

Geno is not a runner by nature, but he does have speed and agility and showed that today.



That being the case, I see no reason why a few designed QB runs wouldn't be more effective than the Wildcat is.
