I`ve just read the following on NFL.com about how the Saints stopped the Wildcat;

According to someone who scouted the game, New Orleans came with pressure on 62 of its 74 defensive snaps, often bringing corners and safeties to run blitz. "Miami had no answer for it," the scout said.

I noticed last week how the Saints committed corners to take out our blockers. Rex `Burger King` Ryan will have noticed this and will no doubt employ the same approach. Miami need to be smart and adjust. If the Jets bring the corner then Ronnie/Ricky need to see it and throw to the open receiver.

We need to add another dimension to the Wildcat and outsmart Jabba The Rex!

What are your thoughts?
 
The pass from Ronnie to Fasano, was us adjusting, but you know what happen there. I believe we had another pass/run option and Ronnie had to run it!

uh, the answer: Hartline slant route.
 
If we can run the slant, Screen pass, and play-action effectively, The WildCat doesn't have to be our main package!
 
I think we should incorporate the Denver Wild Horses option.

Line up in the 2008 wildcat (Henne split out wide). See what formation the Jets respond with. Then Henne comes in motion, takes the snap from center, and we run a standard formation play.

This gives us some advance insight to what formation & strategy the Jets will be employing against the Wildcat, before we actually run the Wildcat.

Not a bad option, but we might run it with Pat White

100% agree. :up:
 
Did this scout miss the first half?

Well, it did seem like the Wildcat was not quite as effective as it had been. The Saints definately played well against it, probably the best so far. I don't think it is anything we can't deal with. I think it is a good sign that it took a team this long to find something to somewhat slow down the Wildcat and i would imagine it would not be hard for our Coaches to add a couple more elements in the formation to counter the DB blitz. That is the beauty of the formation.
 
The good thing so far about the WC, is that is not a gimick, it's a formation. Just like the I, Single, Shotgun.... This staff has been creative and run it effectively... i think 2 things will happen. Either we see some new options or we don't lean on it as much in anticipation that Rex probably prepared all week on WC defense.
 
If Fasano had caught that pass perhaps we wouldnt' still be talking about last weeks game.

:up:Yep... and the bad call on Bess' non fumble.... and the pick 6 that Ginn knocked out.... and the TO called..... and Ginn's drops.... and every one in the 4th dropping passes.... Oh, sorry that passed already!:crazy:
 
. If the Jets bring the corner then Ronnie/Ricky need to see it and throw to the open receiver.


what if the receiver isn't open though? you really want a runningback making alot of coverage reads? doesn't sound like a good formula to me. what if they fake the cb blitz and ronnie reads it wrong and throws a pick 6. or what if they run the cb blitz and the saftey picks up the receiverthat ronnie misreads as open. imo...you really don't wanna ask a runningback to make many coverage reads.
