Let me say first that people are getting a little carried away with exotic twists on the formation. Now that defenses have seen it for weeks, I think a double-reverse pitchback lateral and pass to an eligible tackle (OK, I exaggerate) is more likely to lose a bunch of yards than be successful.
Having said that, I'll join the crowd with what I think we might see:
Pennington in motion, instead of Ricky. He takes the handoff and rolls right, into a moving pocket, something like what we used to do for Marino (for those who recall that). From there, it's pretty much a conventional passing play.
My thinking is that in planning for the wildcat, a conventional pass from the QB (without handoffs or exchanges first) is the one thing that appears off the table. They may bring the safeties up, attack the line, leave receivers one-on-one, and possibly even lose track of someone like Ricky or Ronnie running free.
In other words, just when a defense thinks it can pretty much ignore the QB, put him right back into the center of the play.
