Nervous about the WR position

[dolphins4life]

I think it was more that it was possible to have a good team without superstar receiving corps. 

I wouldn't mind seeing the wildcat come back next year

Wallace was swapped for Stills and if you go by stats and not by salary, we either stayed the same or slightly upgraded. Hartline and Gibson were useless and can be replaced by 6th rounders.

Those are 2 very dangerous statements...

1 Wallace had 10 TD's Stills had 3. It's definitely not an upgrade, you hope its a wash but Wallace is a more polished player at the end of the day.

2  You aren't replacing Hartline and Gibson with 6th rounders that's just silly. They were sure handed and strong route runners, those type of WR's don't grow on trees. They will be difficult to replace.

The Wild Cat consisted of two main components: Snapping to someone capable of running the ball well and an unbalanced offensive line. Both concepts are widely used around the NFL. One huge limiting factor with the Ronnie Brown Wild Cat was that there was very little threat of throwing the ball. That limited its use in the NFL considerably.

What we've seen in the seasons since the Wild Cat is that teams have taken the concepts and used them. Bigger, stronger quarter backs capable of executing a read option are all the rage. The unbalanced line is used as well, although not necessarily in combination with a read option.

The Wild Cat has evolved. Going back to the prehistoric version of it makes no sense.

I certainly would. There is a pretty good reason the entire league has quit using it anymore.

If RG3 and Colin Kaepernick can't even successfully run a Wildcat-style offense, who would MIA run it with?

[Dolphster]

The wildcat was successful in the short term because it was so very different that it took people by surprise and it took teams a while to figure out how to defend it.  Gimmick plays like that are great in the short term, bad in the long term.

Sometimes you are just trolling people by saying crazy stuff to see what kind of reaction you can get out of them, right?

We should bring Fiedler and Wanny back. Cam Cameron too.

I miss Cleo Lemon and Ray Lucas.

What harm would it be to see if they can catch everybody by surprise.

The Titans did it with the music city miracle.  Maybe not use it all season like in 2008, but maybe try to pull off a couple big plays to pull out those close games that make the difference between making the playoffs and going home. 

Anyway, back to subject of receivers.


The 2008 team proved that you can have a good team with non-superstar receivers.

I think who they have, based on what I've read from you guys, could be a perfectly adequate corps, like Ginn, Bess, and Camarillo were in 2008.

That WR corp in 2008 wasn't adequate

Greg Jennings taking an official visit with Miami this week

[EDGECRUSHER]

"Hey Greg, do you have a pulse?".
"Umm....yeah?".
"Good, because we don't have many wide receivers with that right now, so you're in".

There is a report out this morning by Armando that said odds are the Fins won't sign a Vet WR till after the draft.
