I'm sure it was only ran on them very few times, but it is a stat that is meaningful, so I felt like posting it.

Mark Schlereth picked Miami
Herm Edwards picked the Saints

Schlereth picked Miami??? wow thats a first!!

then i guess it will be a tie game, because neither of those guys is ever right about anything.

The eagles ran it some in the first half. They did pretty well against us with it. But I don't think they ran much more than 5 or so plays. But I don't think the Saints prepared much for it either. This week Reggie Bush was running the wildcat in practice.

I don't think thats smart on NOs part.
They shoulda let Pierre Thomas do it.
Reggie emulating Ronnie?
Ronnie is a power runner, while Reggie is more of a change of pace back.

I was reading on a Saints forum where Bush was gaining chunks of yardage against his own defense while in the WC.

Which sounds good.........and I'd also be willing to bet they might just try it against us a play or two.

Jets tried that with Leon, we know how that worked out.
And ill take Leon over Reggie.

If they really give up that many yards, then Miami should do just fine since they run more often than just 5 or 6 times. Who would believe that they might break a long one on Sunday for a touchdown??

I heard that to.The Fins will average 7 on them if the opportunity(and time) presents itself.If we are behind big in the second half,it will be up to Henne to find a way.
I have a good feeling about this game.We already know what the Colts did to us in TOP.It's time to learn from that experience. If we can stop the quick strike,we have a good chance to win.

Read that. Also read he keeps bouncing outside rather than trying to actually run the power play. That's going to doom your D against Miami's Wildcat. Another thing to keep in mind is that, as the halftime adjustments showed in that game, you can gameplan against the Eagle's Pinocchio (yeah, that's what they call it) formation because it's a spread set and really the Eagles haven't had a whole lot of success with it.

With Miami, you're basically facing, "We're going to shove the football so far up your ass you're going to learn every taste nuance of fresh pigskin. And then when you get over the initial experience, you're going to want to sit in a corner, rocking back and forth while hugging your knees, and muttering about how that isn't an 'in' hole."

Can't really gameplan against that, you can only hope to limit the damage. And much better defenses than that of the Saints have failed horribly at doing so. I expect it will be a long night for that D and a very tiring one.

Well that's certainly a description of our running game that you'll never hear on NFLN

Yeah I wouldn't expect them or anyone to be too successful running it against us. We see it in practice more than anyone and no other runs it with near the precision that we do.

Was good to hear that Bush was running it with success against his own D tho....

*goes to church*

TWICE.

Maybe this is the game where we show the wildcat domination. If we beat the Saints with it, no one can talk.

Nope. But it's an accurate one.

OHHHHHHHHH and by teams that suck at it!!! Heres hoping we can run all over them with it...

I wouldn't tempt our infamous history for such outcomes.

After hearing all week, about nothing else except, how they're gonna deal with our Wildcat package, you can rest assured the Saints would love nothing more, than to challenge us, if not defeat us, with our own game.

While they obviously won't be as comfortable running it, it certainly doesn't mean they can't be successful with it, nor should we simply assume, ours will be against them.

If we happen to fall behind early, and consequently get taken out of our game, they'll be left to run Wildcat plays at leisure. Then, if we get at all sloppy with tackling, and they get any noteworthy production out of it, I don't need to explain what the Media would run with, and every highlight caption next week.

that's very nice to hear. that means we will slaughter them with the wild cat! And then we will see a couple of bombs to Ginn. that will be the icing on the cake!

I don't believe the eagles ran the wildcat in the second half. I don't believe they ran it in the second quarter. So I don't know what halftime adjustment you're referring to. Our biggest problem with the eagles wildcat was desean jackson using his speed to beat our LBs to the corner. So if you wanna run it up the middle all game be my guest. All we need is a couple stops and I believe our offense can put a stop to the wildcat.

Only way I'd use the wildcat other than maybe short yardage goaline or 2pt conv is if I had no qb. I would not take the ball out of drew brees' hands. Especially against a team who practices against it every week
