too stoopid to know WTF ur talkin about.y

I say snap it to me and let me do my thing

is used but a mere 10 to 15 plays a game there need not be anything to “balance” it out

I imagine that you have this giant white board in your house where you work on these things all day long. I like this formation as we need to be able to pass more at times and this really lends to our strenghts while keeping the defense off balance.

for the wishbone to come back

Bum Phillips ran an offense similar to this in Houston. It worked well for a time, but was later stopped by defenses. I like the idea can really play into the Wild Cat Mis Direction offense, but I am a fan of what the Phins did last game against the Jets. Put in a lot of Double TE packages to delay and spread the blitz out against the OL and to give QB time to throw.

Chad as passer in the wildcat ..move RB,RW as usual, but with Henne and the ball, where’s it gonna go…I’ll tell you..Its gonna go 5-10 yards down the field, and we’re gonna play Joe Montana ball….1st downs/clock kill/points. Win….

start to morph into Wildcat Personnel so that this formation can be shifted into and back out of the Wildcat.
Is it possible without losing Wildcat effectiveness? Let’s see…
Substitute Tyler Thigpen for Chad Henne.
Henne is the future and you do lose some raw talent, but gain some athleticism/mobility and NFL game experience.
Yes, Tyler Thigpen can pass and do it pretty efficiently. He can also run and catch…more on that later.
Substitute Joey Haynos for Davone Bess (move JH to GC’s spot).
Lose Bess’ clutch hands and quickness, but gain some blocking and size. Camarillo/Bess = similar players.
Substitute Kory Sheets 5-11 208 for Ted Ginn 5-11 180.
You lose a little speed and some WR skills, but you gain some wiggle and much more power in running/blocking.
Formation UPDATED looks like this (called the TOMCAT Double Wing Spread Variant):

GC _ _ _ _ _ _ _ LT LG C RG RT _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _JH

_ _ KS _ _ _ RW _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ RB _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _TT

Can we still pass effectively? Tyler may not be as careful with the ball, as accurate, or as polished as Henne, but he does have experience with the spread in KC, though he would have to spend some quality time after practice with the receivers to get use to them.
TAKE HOME POINT: If it were third and long (like it was for KC many times last year), we could convert with this personnel by traditional pass, by QB draw, by shovel pass, or by screen.
On a side note, I’d love to see some bubble screens to Kory Sheets (KS) who might not fall down on first contact like Ted Ginn.
USING THE SAME PERSONNEL WITHOUT SUBSTITUTION:
Here is a form of the Wildcat (call it the THIGPEN WILDCAT VARIANT).
Would it be an effective WILDCAT formation? You tell me.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ JH LG C RG RT LT_ _ _ _ _ _ GC

KS _ _ _ _ _ RW _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ TT

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ RB
Here Tyler Thigpen is an inferior blocker to Patrick Cobbs, but he does have some size (6-1 224) and some mobility.
The “Wildcat back” can be either Kory Sheets or Ricky Williams in motion right. I’m dying to see Sheets come around the corner at 4.38 speed. If KS comes in motion and Ronnie keeps, he’s got some blocking backside with Haynos and Ricky leading interference.
On a pass play, Thigpen can run downfield and catch a Ronnie Brown Bomb or take a flea-flicker flip from the Wildcat and pass/run and he would still have some pass-blocking available from the right side of the pocket.
It may be not be the best Wildcat variant, but I think it will work EFFECTIVELY as a Wildcat unbalanced formation.
Ladies and Gentlemen, it is now possible to morph from a passing formation to a Wildcat
WITHOUT MAKING SUBSTITUTIONS
TOMCAT spread and THIGPEN WILDCAT personnel are IDENTICAL.
On one down, you can line up in a passing formation on the next down you can line up in a power running formation and if you no huddle it, the defense CAN’T SUBSTITUTE! Pass or Run using Wildcat Personnel.
Here’s how it might apply in a game situation.
Start with Henne in the RnR Double Wing Spread (see orignal fanpost)
Run a few plays, sub in Thigpen, Haynos, and Sheets for Henne, Bess, and Ginn.
CONTINUE to pass for a couple of plays to get into 2ND AND SHORT or 3RD AND SHORT:
Without a huddle, morph into the Widcat and run a few Wildcat plays or alternate to a passing formation
as the down and distance dictate. Whenever you get in a 2nd and short or third and short situation, you can implement the Wildcat immediately without huddle in its “best-case” scenario.
Anytime you need a shot of Henne, bring back the substitution package Henne/Bess/Ginn.
BTW you can also run a traditional two-back, three receiver set with the RandR Double Wing Spread personnel.

If it’s third and long, then let Chad Henne throw the ball.

If we’re down by a couple of scores (more than 10 points) then let Chad Henne throw the ball.

If we’re dead even with a team, then continue to punch them in the face with our running game. Wildcat or otherwise.

Hmmm… Wait. That’s what they’re doing now.
