My Eagles ran over 10 "wildcat" formations against the N.O. last week & we didn't fare well, thank God KC is coming 2 town, but I'm scared we'll have Michael Vick run about 20 snaps which is entirely 2 much 4 a team with the weapons we have. Even with Kevin Curtis & Bryan Westbrook questionable, running that many "wildcat" plays is downright crazy IMO. We should have no problem beating KC,& since we have a week 4 bye, hopefully McNabb, Westbrook, Curtis, & the rest of our offense will be healthy
Westbrook, I'm not surprised, but Curtis has got to be healthy. When he's healthy, he's one of the most underrated WR's in the game.
But I agree. I'm not sure using Vick for Wildcat that often is such a good idea. Because, honestly, defenses are going to figure out that when Vick's in the game, it's most likely going to be a Wildcat play. So QB Spy on Vick and man to man on DeSean Jackson, and of course have the D-Line keep their eyes on McCoy in case of direct snap
Good point. That's why when we ran all those wildcat plays in the preseason I wasn't happy about it. For one thing, 2 see McNabb split out wide while Vick takes the snap is silly, because you run the risk of a safety or a corner hurting our franchise QB-(playing bump & run, or just playing physical). Let's be real, if I'm a defensive player, & I see the Eagles in the wildcat with McNabb split out wide, I would assume it's a safe bet that he won't get the ball, he's just a decoy.....
That's why with all the explosive offenses in the NFL---you rarely ever see them use the wildcat. There's nothing wrong with using it with athletic players-(ex: Percy Harvin-Minn, Ronnie Brown-Mia, Felix Jones-Dal, etc.), but I could just picture the Colts lining up in the wildcat, & having Peyton Manning run a hitch & go route-(can you imagine how Indy fans would feel if their franchise QB got his head cracked by a devastating hit downfield because they chose to run a play out of the wildcat?
Like if N.O. ran multiple wildcat plays, it would be weird,because Brees is breathing down Brady & Mannings back-(you said it best, "Brees is the man"), & they have guys that they could use 2 take a direct snap out of the wildcat-(Bush, Bell, Colston, Henderson, Meachem, etc.), it wouldn't make sense, because their QB is running the offense damn near perfectly right now as it is. I'm watching NFL Pregame as I type this, & I'm eager 2 see how many plays Vick gets & how successful he'll be in them
Exactly. Now, I don't mind teams throwing in a couple of Wildcats in a game, just to keep the defense guessing, but no team can center an entire gameplan around it. And that seems to be what some of these teams are thinking.
i picked cleveland over denver too, i picked dallas too, with out those turnovers the cowboys blow out the giants, i taking the jets man, texans are gonna smack jacksonville,
Yea, I was so pissed about that game, man. Giants just got lucky. God was on their side for that game.
Fluke INT off of Witten. And then, didn't one of the NYG WR's catch a ball in the endzone on his back? But yea, without the turnovers we would've blown out the Giants. Without that INT off of Witten's foot, we would've won for sure.
LOL, Pittsburgh was done from the start, I mean like the team thinks there gonna be alright without Polamalu during the practices during the week. But during the game they look back and they see Polamalu isnt there . . . . Uh Oh
Yea, like I commented on Jakin34's comment, I think the Steeler's coaches have had an opportunity to address that situation. I don't think they've ever played a game since they drafted him, WITHOUT him being on the field. So this is just new to them. They should be able to figure it out and fix it though.
cowboys win or wade is out i dont blame romo at all they dont use him right oh and jason garrett needs 2 go 2

It's possible. But I think that coaching staff is going to try and fix the problems they had last week on defense.
