"SAPP SAYS WILDCAT IS “DISRESPECTFUL”
Posted by Mike Florio on October 9, 2008, 2:48 p.m.
Former NFL loudmouth player Warren Sapp apparently is attempting to carve as niche as a loudmouth analyst. While we’ve generally got no problem with Sapp being a loudmouth, if he’s going to be a loudmouth it also helps to be persuasive in his loudmouthedness.With the Miami Dolphins’ new Wildcat formation fueling wins over the two AFC finalists from a year ago, Sapp has offered up a misguided (and loudmouthed) critique of the attack.
“This is disrespectful to all defenses,” Sapp declared during his weekly appearance on Showtime’s Inside the NFL, via Tim Graham of ESPN.com. “It’s disrespectful. You’re taking the best player in the game, the quarterback, and you’re putting him out wide, outside the numbers, and you put the running back in the back.
“How the hell you going to throw the ball? I’m not even thinking about throw right now. I’m going to get everybody in the gap. It’s just power ‘O.’ You have the running back with the ball already in his hand.”
But, Warren, apparently you didn’t see any tape from the game between the Dolphins and the Patriots. Ronnie Brown threw a touchdown pass to tight end Anthony Fasano from the “disrespectful” Wildcat formation.
And even if the Fins don’t fling it from that formation again, the challenge for the defense is to make the tackle. It’s not a matter of respect or the absence of it. If/when defenses routinely stuff the play, then the Dolphins surely will quit using it. Until then, the play is no less respectful than shotgun formation with an empty backfield."
