re: Remember when the GOAT Defensive mind didn't have an answer for the wildcat?

The best run Wildcat is and will always be when Arkansas ran it with Darren McFadden and Felix Jones in 2006 and 2007.

Those always involved sending Jones in motion across the formation, and it was basically a triple option for McFadden to either keep it, hand it off to Felix to run a jet sweep, or throw it. On top of that, McFadden had played some QB in high school and had a decent arm and accuracy, much moreso than a typical tailback.

Thereafter, coaches who adopted it usually botched the implementation because they largely watered it down to being a RB direct snap run up the A gap, with little to no motion or alternate options for the RB beyond a jump pass usually sparingly used in goal line situations.
