Oh man And of course 2013 and 2014 with Grant and R.L.Disclaimer: I am not saying we need a DT-QB to run a sweep Edited August 12, 2016 by DAG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like we are limiting ourselves if are being so predictable out of that particular formation. It's already a given we will run it out of the wildcat (didn't Darren McFadden have some good throws out of the formation? -- yeah I'm aware not everyone has arm talent), shouldn't we at least keep the D guessing on who gets the rock?

Or were we running a pseudo-wildcat with NM in there because he can do everything a wildcat QB could do plus bring actual QB skills to the table as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or were we running a pseudo-wildcat with NM in there because he can do everything a wildcat QB could do plus bring actual QB skills to the table as well Exactly. Just like Cam. The only time a true wild-cat usually happens is when you honestly don't have a typical running threat at QB. E.G. D-Mac in for Casey Dick or Mustain. Sweep guy isn't fooling anybody with Casey Dick handing the ball off to him. Neither was Chris Todd in 2009, which is why Burns entered the game. Also, D-Mac did throw some and was actually pretty successful at it. Maybe K.J. can be a poor man's D-MAC in terms of this. Who knows.

Correct. However, it wasn't technically a Wildcat formation where the OTs are stacked to one side. It was a standard Shotgun formation.

alexava 6,973 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 wildcat is actually when you move the left tackle to the right TE spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol D-Mac was so damn good and threw surprisingly well for a RB. Edited August 12, 2016 by Tiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyAU 3,630 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Ronnie Brown threw it well for the Dolphins out of the Wildcat back in the day too if I'm not mistaken...and I could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick.AU 13,279 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I think the "Dyer-Cat" is really what ruined the Wildcat for auburn fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't even get the count right for motion over and the defense still has to account for the sweep guy and D-Mac.. Leads to a TD. Only if it was that simple. Hey D-Mac, go out and take some snaps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm definitely wondering about wildcat specifically. We run sweeps out of normal shotgun rather regularly it seems like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VipersStrike1 230 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Out of all 3 Kerryon keeper TDs, only the TD in the Kentucky game was from a true Wildcat formation with Coleman as the TE on the right side. Leff was at LT. The Georgia & Memphis TDs were out of standard Shotgun formations with 2 FBs split and a sweeping Jason Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be nice to have for a 3rd or 4th CB. It appears Marshall Taylor will be back next week....likely Wednesday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsboroAuburnFan 462 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Nobody catch today's interviews? Players and CRL after practice today right? We prob spent the whole time on punting and 4th down situation since that's what most believe we will see the most this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
