You don’t hate the Wildcat anymore when they block it like this. Look at Wagner, Schrauth and others.
Yes, yes I do.
Our line, as shown in the 2 xweets, is not consistent enough to say we are running here, try to stop us.
So the wildcat telegraphs the play, eliminates part f the field (the QB side as mentioned), leading to a drastically reduced chance of success.
It reduces complexity and decision making times for the D without adding anything useful to counter.
Maybe if the RB had the ability to throw and the usually ignored QB could catch, the wildcat would be a good trick play...like a fake punt.
As a staple for short yardage, it sucks. It may be more successful since we have exited the worst stretch of our schedule, but that success is ephemeral and will not last against good or (hopefully) playoff teams.
