Mountaineer? Could see Hester at Wildcat Sunday

"Understandably, Lovie Smith would prefer not to "go there" in regard to a third QB behind Todd Collins and Caleb Hanie. It could be Devin Hester or Matt Forte, who could take direct snaps out of the "wildcat" formation. "We have an emergency plan," Smith said Thursday. "Most of the time, you don't get to that third quarterback in a game. Very, very seldom does it happen. But I'll just say without going into that and giving away too much more about our game plan, we have a guy in mind, maybe a couple of guys in mind, if we get down to No. 3. Hopefully we won't get to No. 3."

If the Panthers knock out 2 QB's, don't think there is much worry about what happens after that.

To state the headline differently, I think that seeing Hester at Wildcat could be as likely as seeing Armanti at Mountainier. Don't think it would take injuries to see it on Sunday.

I know we drafted Edwards and have put him in this "Mountaineer" formation but whatever happened to the Single Wing Offense with DeAngelo? In all seriousness, we ran that against the Falcons that one year when we had QB injuries and did REALLY well with it... why has that really not happened since? We have put Smitty in the gun for the wildcat... plus DWill did say that he can throw the ball :)

The difference is, Hester was never a QB. Armanti was. I think our Wildcat (The Mountaineer) will be way more deadly than it would with Hester back there.

It doesn't take a QB to run the wildcat. The speed of the runner is what makes it dangerous more so than the passing threat IMO.

Umm no. This has been proven to be false. You have to at least have a throwing threat in the Wildcat now to keep the defense honest.

Henning went to Miami, whooped the Pats with the same formation and it caught on like an STD.

Everybody and their mom started running it and defenses figured out how to stop it.

Now you have to have a real throwing threat to make it effective, most teams don't.

Umm no. The wildcat puts an extra playmaker on the field... like Hester. It's not used as a trick formation anymore, way too much tape from last year. It's used in siutations where the offense needs short yardage or a spark or in the case of Chicago because they are short of QBs.

      They reached for Pickett, so they are not immune to it.  I could see that as well.  I just think the Colts are flying under the radar and they have been too quiet concerning their QB situation--of course, they could think Jones is their guy (they had a good one named Jones a long time ago) but I think they are done with the Richardson experiment.   Even if I believed in Jones, I would still draft a QB--I also read one mock that said the Jets would take Sanders if he falls to 7---I disagree, but I was once wrong and it still bothers me.

      I just switched to prime video with fanduel south. Will I be able to watch the Canes playoff games still?

      I mean, you can use that "logic," but the problem is that most practice squad players, backups or average guys don't put the play on film that Wharton did when given their opportunities.  Perhaps you'll end up right, but I don't think that just because a guy has been in a rotation makes him inherently less productive because he gets more snaps. I will say that the KC fans I've seen on social media loved him, and considered him their second best DT,  regardless of his "rotational" status, and generally considered him a dawg, so I'm going to give him the benefit of doubt until he shows otherwise.
