Nothing special about the wildcat.

I watched the Dolphins play against the Colts and the Jets. The wildcat was successful in those games and I'm sure the wildcat was effective against the other Dolphin games I missed. There is nothing really that special about the wildcat. IMO the Dolphins have run the wildcat successfully because their O-line did a good job of blocking up front and Ronnie Brown and Rickey Williams are no slouches at running back. I think the Dolphins will have two or three successful drives against the Saints D running the wildcat that will lead to points in the early quarters. However, the Dolphins one dimensional attack will be no match against the Saints balanced attack. I predict by the 4th quarter the Dolphins will be down +17 and will have to abandon the wildcat.

The Dolphins are going to dominate the clock, this is a given. The reason the dolphins lose is because they have no legitimate quick strike offense, or scoring threat. But with Henne back there they actually can now utilize Ted Ginn's speed.

All this being said though, their offense in no way can keep up with the Saint's scoring. But be scared if they do find a passing game.

Very, very true. It's an archaic scheme that emphasizes fundamental play both on offense and defense.
