With the signing of Jake Grove who is by most people's opinion, a mauler, is the wildcat done in Miami? I watched the highlites from last year, and Satele's ability to get out in front and lead on the reverses and the mobility required to run the wildcat does not bode well for Grove at center. So if Grove starts at center, will the Fins scrap the wildcat?

Remember, although the snapper is usually the same in the wildcat, 90% of the time it is ran out of an unbalanced line; and Sparano said we didnt even touch the surface of the wildcat last year, they have tons more packages that they never used... Hopefully they will all be as effective as the option pass to Cobbs against Houston... and hopefully, the end result on the scoreboard will be differnt
 
actually, Jake Grove is not as bad as you might think.
I checked out their scouting reports, and they're close in shuttle times: Satele 4.29-4.32
Grove actually had a higher vertical, 35-33
and a faster 40 time 5.16-5.24 (althogh Samson was quicker out of the gate)
I'm not saying Grove is more athletic, but he isn't exactly slow

We all know you hate the Grove signing. Give it a rest. And Satele can still pull as a guard, probably much more successfully, too.
