Payton does like to always look for new innovative ways to move the ball and this would be a great way to get Reggie the ball with some room to run and also for Reggie to take a snap and misdirect the play by handing off and seeing if
the defense would over key on him leaving others to make easy gains. And I think you are right as I posted in another discussion, we have had direct snaps to rbs before. No one would be ready to defend the Wildcat against us, it would blow their minds.

That’s one of the things I like best about Sean Payton. He always has THAT look in his eye. I get the feeling that, maybe once in a while, he sends in a play, turns to the rest of the team on the sideline and says, “Hey y’all, watch this!” He is fun to watch!

they know the wildcat, weather or not it works well they do know it…

I think personally that if we actually did run it, it would most likey look bad on us and SP.

I think we have been doing a freaking great job staying on of the “mud slinging” if you will, and keeping positive and looking only one game ahead…

as you can see the fins are nervous… multiple posts of things like we are fondling our balls and such… they want to piss us off, make others look down on us again

they think we are on a high horse… well i got news for them

we aren’t on any high horse.. we are freaking riding high on wins… and im damn proud of the saints!!

WhO DaT!

it hot/humid like 6 months outta the year… but its ok let them think whatever they want

did you know we are going to lose because the stars aligned with jupiter and points to the dolphins stadium

cough cough

 It’s hot and still in NOLA, But at least there will be a Brees blowing up a storm in Miami.

The Saints don’t have the proper OL personnel to run the Wildcat effectively. They’re well below average in outside containment on running plays. If they weren’t, there wouldn’t be a “it’s too soon to give up on Reggie” thread, as outside the hashmarks is — and always has been — his (stale) bread and (imitation) butter. Even if Thomas or Bell were used, I don’t see it behooving us to the point of making us a better offense on the whole. On top of which, when you attempt to run a complex misdirection play, without any sort of regularity, your own unfamiliarity can lead to errors. The botched 4th-and-1 Bush-to-Henderson pitch against the Bucs a couple of years back is a prime example of that. It wound up costing us that game. I have no problem with Payton pulling a trick play out of his hat every so often, in order to keep opposing defenses on their toes, but let’s leave the high wire stunts to the experts, before someone falls and misses the net.

the kick out block worked quite well and that’s the type of run that could work with the Polecat. also, just Reggie handing off to PT diving in the 1 or 2 gap would be minimal risk.

While it may work and be effective, I think the biggest thing we have aiding our running game is the defense’s fear the Brees is going to hold onto the ball and light up the secondary on the play action. The only time I could see the wildcat being used and even necessary is late in the game when we’re trying to run the clock.

’Nuf said.
