While appearing on sports-talk radio Friday morning, Miami Dolphins' running back Ricky Williams announced the death of the Wildcat offense.
How can that be, you might ask? Well, it's just a part of their regular offensive playbook now and doesn't need a name. In fact, giving it a name has a negative connotation according to Williams.
"There's all this talk about the Wildcat basically as a trick play. But we've done it so much. And there's so much on film. You can't call it that any more," Williams said on the Dan Patrick show.
You've heard NFL analysts decry the Wildcat as a gadget or gimmick scheme. Steve Young, ESPN analyst seems to be the most vocal on the subject but even he changed his tune after the Dolphins win against the Jets. Young, like Williams agrees that the way Miami employs the direct snap plays has made them mainstream.
