I think you'll be surprised on how much we did pick up on the WC formation. Without looking I think it was something like 4.4 yards average. I wonder if we will see LT used in that role now.
There were some big gains. There were some really shitty gains. There were some 3rd and 5s that got converted. But all in all, the WC can go away.
The Wildcat is a boom-or-bust formation. It can spark a drive or kill it. With an up-and-coming quarterback, we should scrap it...because if you take him out of the game, his rhythm may be thrown off. That's my least favorite thing about those playcalls.
The Wildcat was a fantastic utilisation of Brad Smith"s skillset, and he meshed perfectly with an offense that was working in an incredible inexperienced rookie/sophomore QB. Sanchez now has 52 pro/college starts under his belt, and it's time to take the training wheels off and let him progress accordingly.
I'm not the biggest wildcat fan in the world. Its runs are just incredibly predictable and I always think we should pass more than we do out of it. I wouldn't mind seeing the wildcat go away permanently. And I still say the Bills overpaid Brad Smith.
I HATE the wildcat and we used it too much, it lost effectiveness. I love Brad but his loss isn't huge especially w/ the new KO position, his loss will be biggest for us on STs coverage.
