Wildcat Package...more coming from MIA (1 Viewer)

Apparently MIA will keep using this. Any ARK homers know much about it, how it's used, why it's so hard to stop (why it stumped/stomped the Patriots??!!).

David Lee, Miami's QB coach, was Arkansas OC last year. They used it with McFadden and Felix Jones.

It worked real well on the Patriots because the Pats LBs are slow. They are experienced, but that experience was rendered useless since they've never faced such a scheme before. Factor in that Miami has two great RBs, and you have domination. I'm guessing a lot of it came from the NE-CLE game from last year. If you notice, CLE used a lot of overload formations, where theyd would move Joe Thomas to the right side as a TE. Now when faced with this formation, the D can either shift or not shift. Judging from how NE reacted against it last year, Miami saw something they could take advantage of. They did put Jake Long as TE on the right side on those plays.

Excellent analysis.

Does this now open up the passing lanes for the WRs like Ginn Jr??

Maybe a little, but I wouldn't count on any of Miami's WRs.I also don't necessarily believe this is something that we will see every week. Theres a reason the option doesn't work in the NFL. Most defenses are too fast. But NE was just slow enough...
