Wildcat formation?! Oh yeah!

My sources indicate that Dooley mentione at the recruiting celebration that he WOULD use the wildcat. He also mentioned Nash Nance is a viable option for the wildcat. I guess we will call it the WildNash or the NashtyCat.

let me get this right, we probably have a young line that will struggle and you want to take the passer out of the game so that the defense can be 97 percent sure we are going to run and the can load, oh 8, 9, 10 in the box and tee off on the run play? And as we know players get alot stronger. Year to year so the young line is going to struggle in the strength department and moving guys off the line, especially if they know what's coming.... This is your idea? Have you really thought this one through? Really?

Derek dooley used a wildcat formation last year with tech. And with potentially a Freshman QB coming in next year, (even if he doesnt play, Stephens is wont exactly be passing 35 times a game) how ridiculously talented would a Bryce brown, david Oku wildcat be?

OR

In order to give BB a blow, do a Tauren Poole in shotgun with Oku wildcat formation.

This could be easy for a young O line to work with, these quick RBs could make one quick move to get through that initial D line burst. It would be a beast of an offensive set, while giving poole some well deserved carries.
Could be an awesome RB group next year. The three headed monster.

You also have more lineman and TE's on the field when you run the Wildcat. So they have to put that many in the box just to have a chance of being able to deal with all the blockers.

You didn't get it. I know what your saying, it's the whole point of the wildcat, the single wing come again with a better name. Run blocking when the d knows the run is coming is brute strength move em out, and that is the last position you want to pit your young line in. Maybe with a running qb that throws a pass once or twice to keep the d somewhat honest, this works. With a suspect line and no qb, that is a recipe for disaster....

How do you know they will tee off against the run play? Ever think that teams might do that anyway given our lack of a proven QB? If anything having the extra blocker (at times) will help the o-line. Also, ever think that it just takes one crease or one decent lane for a RB to break one for a long run when the defense "tee's off" on the o-line?

What? So we take away that last shred of doubt? Maybe with a running qb, but with a weak line, this is exactly, what not to do. You protect a weak line by keeping the defense off balance. You protect a weak line with a short passing game. You protect it with screens. You do not protect it by screaming from the mountain, "we are running! We dare you to stop us!"

We could bring Nukeese back and call it the pellet gun. But I honestly think if we do run it DaRick will be the one running it....either him or Teague

I never realized we had so many SEC caliber coaches in this forum who are more qualified than UT's coaches who know what will and will not work in their system. Why not let the coaches, who actually know what they are doing, coach and we as fans watch and cheer from our seats.

It only works if you have a once in a generation type player like Tebow or an offensive mind like Malzahn (even then I'm not sure w/ Auburn). We'll see how well Florida does without Tebow. I'm betting they go to more of a pro-style offense in the next few years.
