With the extra week of the bye week, does anyone see us implementing something similiar to the Wild Horses that Denver used to confuse New England?

My understanding is that when we line up in the Wildcat these days, we are using 2 RBs, 2 TEs and a FB, no WRs or QB. Wouldn't it make sense to line up Henne at WR, put him in motion to line up behind center, get a better view of how the defense is set up before running the play? I would have to think it would confuse the defense and give them less time to react, as Denver did against New England, just my opinion.
 
Mods, my apologies, I didn't realize there was another thread similiar to this already posted, please do what you see fit, merge or delete.
 
The Wildcat can have a variety of different personnel, that is not what makes the wildcat.

But anyways, they wont put Henne in motion. If anything they would put White in the slot and put him in motion. Henne can throw on the run and has decent mobility, but obviously those traits are what White brings to the table not Henne.
 
i really like this idea.. itd keep the defense even more offbalance and i could see us doing things like moving henne from TE, to QB and motioning out to the slot.. we could also put him at WR nd move to QB and sometimes just put him at WR to keep them off balance.. in a year or two i could see us switching to more off the "wild horse" formation with pat white and ricky on the decline.. good post, it has potential
 
I made a post the soon after the Denver/NE game talking about how much I liked the idea and how it played out. The motioning of the QB completely froze the NE defense and Orton completed 3 or 4 easy passes.
 
I do not see Henne in on the Wildcat at all.

The Wildhorse is interesting. This is where Thigpen or even White could play a role. The running back (morino) was further back then in the Wildcat and QB Orton was going in motion from the WR slot to the QB position behind center. At one point they were not just running very well but they were 7 for 7 passing.

What it could do is really really throw the Saints etc.

Although I still think our problem will be defense and not offense.
