Wildcat Offense

A lot of attention has been payed this past season to the Miami Dolphins unconventional offense. Coined as the "wildcat", this offense utilizes a direct snap to a running back and eliminates the quarterback position. This is not a new concept. The offense has been used in the past as a trick or gimick play. This is the first time that I know of that a team has utilized it as a primary offense. I do not feel that this offense will last long. I have always believed that an offense needs to have both a passing and running threat in order to be successful, and defenses will be able to adapt and develop to this offense. This is not an offense that should be used as a primary offense, but maybe effective in use on trick plays.
