i hear this several times sundays. i have no idea what it means. it looks like the old single wing.

...but now it is on television, not radio!

SI did a good article on it last season. It is derivative of Single Wing. Basically anytime there is an unbalanced line and direct snap to RB, someone will refer to it as Wildcat.

Miami seems to have figured it out. They've had some success with it. I think it makes the game more exciting and I'd like to see more teams work on it.

Qualiaty runningbacks and fleet footed quarterbacks might come back in style.

well, another factor is that Miami has both Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown.

It is a method to get their most talented players on the field at the same time in a useful way.

I think the league has figured it out and it'll go away soon. Excepting one drive when the Fins were using more of a spread option running attack than the wildcat and scored a TD, they are averaging something like 1.5 yards per attempt with the wildcat over the last three or four games. Won't cut it in the NFL.

Alabama runs it when the running back can catch the snap from center without bobbling it, they make some big gains on the Wildcat.
