The Wildcat Formation


Lt Pinkerton

Recommended Posts

Have you noticed that Miami gets all of the credit for instituting that formation when our own Panthers did it multiple times in the last Atlanta game in '06? I remember because Chris Weinke literally attempted only 7 passes and yet we still won. ATL just couldn't stop the Wildcat.

Yep. But really, Henning was OC when we ran them here in '06, and now that he's in Miami....

He's not taking away any credit from Henning. It's obvious who's idea it was to run it. He's just wondering why nobody even picked up on it when we ran it although we had used it the whole game.

It was the fact that every play they ran from it scored in some way and it got attention cause brown had 5 total tdz, and the former 1-15 fins raped the former 16-0 patriots

I did think that tho when I first saw all the attention it was getting

didn't weinke set some single-game passing record and then the next game was that one...I was wondering what the hell the panthers were doing

You're a little touchy tonight, aren't you? I know what the man said... so you really don't need to explain it for me. Never said he took credit away from anyone. What I DID say that Henning was here when "we" ran it in '06. And now he's in Miami. The inference was here, that maybe it's somehow kind of fitting that he's still getting credit for it via Miami getting all the hype for it.

As for "us" not getting any recognition for running it "first" in '06... is that any different than any of the other press coverage we usually get?

Yea I remember that, we did the same play 10 times in a row and they couldnt stop it. We just ran and ran. John Fox must have had a raging hard-on during the end of that game.

    • Yeah the thing about DJ and his production was that he played in a scheme that either rushed 6 or rushed 3. Almost nothing in between.  So he's either 1 on 1 or a free rusher OR he's not rushing at all.  That said, he cost very little compared to Burns with basically the same output. 
    • There's much of nothing coming out this time of year, but here's a vid that I believe that many fans need to internalize because it speaks to expectations for the 2024 season.    There's nothing really new, but I'd like to point out that one of the few things that I personally learned is that D.J. Wonnum's contract is only guaranteed to the tune of 10 percent. The analyst in the vid is a Vikings guy, and he has seen all of  Wonnum's plays. He says that Wonnum disappears for big stretches, and of course, as a Panthers guy, I couldn't help but think of Brian Burns' disappearing act for stretches as well.  To paraphrase and kind of give my two cents, Panthers fans should be somewhat optimistic about all of the potential on offense (but not crazily so), and be somewhat worried about the pass rush and defensive backfield. We're thin at both, but hopefully we can at least be competitive based on the offensive side of the ball. This is not to say that we won't be better on defense, but being so thin at rush and on the back end, we will be lucky to substantially improve.  One more note is that I believe he's somewhat of a Young apologist, as he didn't really mention Bryce's bad play specifically, taking the position that we just don't know what we have in Young based upon the sh¡t show in 2023.  I could argue the point, but what's the point? We'll have to see what Bryce has got when surrounded by much-improved talent and coaching. Check the vid out; it isn't so long, and though there are multiple reasons to be skeptical about the defensive personnel, last year produced a couple of stats that should indicate that Ej knows what he's doing. Like the analyst said, we'll hopefully do for the defense in the 2025 off-season, what we did for the offense this off-season.
    • seems like Necas is acting like a pestilent spoiled brat, we have to sign Drury and this is gumming up the works - also looks like we now have to trade Necas for draft picks or fingers crossed get out of KK's salary
