It just dawned on me that I haven't seen a single wildcat play so far this preseason. :yes:
Now I don't mind the WC in theory, but I thought we got predictable with it and that it hurt us more often than it helped.

I think we'll definitely see it some when the bullets fly for real. I think that Daboll is making some adjustments to it and doesn't want to unveil it in games that don't matter.

I think the coaches are more worried about installing the new offense before they work on the WC package. After saying that, the Bills just ran the WC with Brad Smith.

Daboll ran the WC in Cleveland with Cribbs, have to wonder if maybe we see Beast as the WC Qb? -
It was so poorly used last year, that I won't miss it if it is laid to rest.

Well if we do see it, it sure as hell better not be after Henne just drove the team 60 yards down the field, 3 Wildcats and fieldgoal.

I like how we've gotten more aggressive with the passing game. Not only are we taking multiple shots down the field, but more importantly IMO, we're challenging the defense in ways we didnt see under Henning. We're consistently getting 5 guys into the pattern, daring teams to blitz us instead of cowering in fear of the blitz with a steady diet of 6-7 man protections. It forces defenses to defend the entire field, prevents them from crowding our primary targets, and I love it. I don't mean to dance on Henning's grave, he didn't exactly have the kind of personnel to take that kind of approach even if he wanted to. Two preseason games is a terribly small sample size, but if Daboll is willing to send 5 out in meaningless preseason games then he'll probably do the same in the regular season and if that's the case then I think it bodes well for our offense and what the staff thinks we're capable of.

And I do agree, if there is no passing involved do not mess around with the WC, they do not have to spray the ball around the field, there does have to be some completions to keep the D honest.
