With the recent release of the dog fighter from prison, we decided to explore what we call “The Ultimate Wildcat Offense.”
Our standards of choosing players are as follows…
Quarterback
- Agile
- Quick Burst
- Average ability to pass the football
Running Back
- Must be able to handle the ball in open field
- Have the ability to throw
Wide Receiver
- Able to adapt to different scenario’s
- 1 must have the ability to throw
Tight End
- Good blocker
- Effective in red zone
Offensive Line
- Great protection for agile quarterback
Quarterback
Winner: Michael Vick
Although Michael Vick may not technically be in the NFL at this time, there is no denying Vick’s skill set. Never before has the NFL seen a more dynamic QB than Michael Vick on the run. Vick would take over the QB position which in the wildcat offense is typically played by a RB. However, with Michael Vick’s 4.4 speed and his top notch acceleration and agility, combined with his ability to throw the football, makes him a much more dangerous threat in the wildcat QB slot.
Runner Up: Seneca Wallace
Seneca is a close second, but does not possess as much pure running talent as Michael Vick does.
Troy Smith
Pat White
Vince Young
Running Back
Winner: Ronnie Brown
Ronnie Brown is an athletic freak, he combines his 230 pound frame with sub 4.4 speed into one unbelievable athlete. Brown showed last season while running the wildcat that he possess the necessary vision to fulfill this role. Brown also possesses the ability to cut loose and throw the football down field, which is important when filling the slot of the RB in a wildcat offense. Brown is a tenacious runner once he gets a full head of steam and at this position in the wildcat, he will receive the ball with a running head start. Our advice to oncoming defenders…goodluck
Runner Up: Ladainian Tomlinson
This was a tough call, as there were 3-4 RB who would really make great wildcat RB’s however, due to Tomlinson’s 5 star caliber talent, and his ability to throw the football, he assumes the role of runner up.
Darren McFadden
Michael Bush
Reggie Bush
Adrian Peterson
Wide Receiver
(2) Winner: Larry Fitzgerald and Brad Smith
Most people reading this are probably saying to themselves “Brad Smith!?!?” but we believe he is the best option to have as the secondary receiver in the wildcat offense. This is because the secondary receiver in a wildcat offense is a very versatile position, he may run routes, comes around for a reverse, or take a pitch and throw the ball down field. In college, Brad Smith was the first Division 1-A player to pass for 8,000 yards and run for 4,000 yards in his career. All these skills combined are why Brad Smith becomes the best choice.
(2) Runner Up: Calvin Johnson and Antwaan Randle El
Matt Jones
Hines Ward
Joshua Cribbs
Devin Hester
Tight End
(2) Winner: Kellen Winslow and Antonio Gates
(2) Runner Up: Chris Cooley and Tony Gonzalez
