The Kansas City Chiefs wasted no time in tinkering with the Wildcat formation Saturday. New offensive coordinator Charlie Weis dedicated an entire period to the formation.
Our sound-off question to Kansas City fans is does that notion excite you? Do you think the Wildcat (perhaps the WildChief) would work in Kansas City? Or do you think the Wildcat is passé and Kansas City should just keep its offense traditional.
With Jamaal Charles, Thomas Jones and rookie receiver Dexter McCluster all Wildcat candidates, it could be an interesting wrinkle in Weis’ playbook. Hit my mailbag with your thoughts on how you think it would affect Kansas City’s offense. I will post some of your responses later in the week. [Reply]
I watched the 2009 Ole Miss/Tennessee game replay a while back. McCluster ran 4 or 5 plays out of the "Wildcat" formation. Good things happened on damn near everyone of them as well. To not have that option as part of our package on offense would be a huge mistake IMO.
Here is a link that shows some highlights of that game including 3 DMC TD runs... 2 of which came out of the Wildcat.
