A running back taking a direct snap is not "wildcat"


I have never heard wildcat referred to as anything more than a formation.

You are referring to it as if it is an offensive style like the spread.

quote:

Wildcat formation describes a formation for the offense in football in which the ball is snapped not to the quarterback but directly to a player of another position lined up at the quarterback position.

The Wildcat is a series of plays run out of a certain formation. Miles only ran it as a power play, I believe short yardage/goal line. It adds an extra blocker and tends to spreads the defense out. As previous posters have mentioned, it puts the defense is an extremely tough position. The possibilities are endless... You MUST have the proper personnel to run it to it's full potential. See Mcfadden in the "Wild Hog".
