Re: Wildcat
If you watched Stanford beat Oregon the other night, you saw man blocking at it's finest by Stanford. They must've ran the same play 40 times but Oregon couldn't stop it.

Re: Wildcat
I saw this thread earlier in the day, but now that I've thought about it: one of the few things that's given us a little extra seam on running plays this season is the use of the fake end-around action. It's a look that makes the defense take just an instant to evaluate, and when we've used it, there has been just a wee bit more room to run.
If they keep with this goof-ball blocking scheme, then they will need some type of gimmick - some misdirection, eye candy, or something else to account for in the running game.
What this O line needs is not a wildcat formation, but a running QB at all times -- the threat of which forces the D to "account for" the QB in the running game, slows down the LBs a little and makes the defense worry a little more about containment. A running QB would surely help paper over the O lines deficiencies.
Going with the odd wildcat play is a dead giveaway we're running, and would negate its usefulness. Sure, TT could throw the ball, but defenses now are daring FLACCO to throw the ball, so you would have to assume they'll double dog dare Taylor to throw it.
That said, I'm not sure TT isn't the most effective runner on the roster right now, with the way Rice and Pierce seem to be banged up every week. No way we see him though. No way to really get him in the game other than at QB, and that's not something I'm all that comfortable with. TT can be effective for about a series. He can move the chains a bit, IMHO. But even then I'd only want him in there for that series if Flacco was shaken up or something. I don't like it as a tactical switch up, even though I do think it might be effective. I'd still rather see Flacco out there, with our old blocking scheme, without the training wheels, etc. etc. etc................

Re: Wildcat
Getting Tyrod in there a couple plays a game (with Flacco lined up way way wide just to take a CB out of the play) can't hurt. Why not? at the worst a couple yards .. for 2 plays a game?

Re: Wildcat
fuck the wildcat, shotgun spread, no huddle stack, bunch formations quick slants, we don't have much to attack the middle of the field, but the wildcat won't work here.
