Will we see Wildcat from the Pats?

[oasis]

I was thinking about the new potential wrinkles we might add into the Wildcat, and then I started thinking from Belichick's perspective. My first thought was to try and steal the playbook and/or get cameras installed on Miami's practice field, but then I wondered whether the best way to plan on defending the Wildcat is to install it into your own offense.

Now I think there's a good chance the Fins will have new wrinkles, and if you're Belichick, you're trying to anticipate what those wrinkles might be so you can show them to your team and have them practice against them a few times. If you're Belichick do you put yourself in Miami's shoes and say, what might I do with the personnel I've (Miami) got, and just draw up a few plays?

If you've drawn them up, might as well have your offense practice them for your defense and ta-da, now you can even use them against the Fins to give them a dose of their own medicine. That would sure feel sweet wouldn't it...

Would you put it past Belichick? I'm sure he's still smartin' from week 3.

EDIT: Just saw jreg1's thread on a similar subject...

I hear ya, but I think our D has probably seen it in practice more than any other D in the league. Odds are, it wouldn't work against us. And as soon as we stopped their Wildcat in it's tracks, it would only pump our guys up even more, having a major backfire effect. I think Belichick is smarter than that.

I'm sure it would feel sweet to them if they could trick us with something similar, but I think their game plan will be perfect textbook football. Odds are they will take advantage when our special teams shows up... ;(

Would not be suprised as kevin faulk played QB in college and also they do have kevin connel who ran for alot of yards in san deigo last year.

Why is everyone so freakin concerned against the Wildcat being used against us? It's only been around since the 60s.

we will see the wildcat from miami, i dont think NE will use it much. maybe a few plays. we need to make sure we blanket moss and welker and force them to run it. that will give us our best chance
