Dolphins’ White Warming Up The Wildcat

Posted by Aaron Wilson on May 29, 2009, 12:53 p.m.

While the Miami Dolphins are trying to remain as secretive as possible about their strategy for versatile rookie quarterback Pat White, there are plenty of indications that the Wildcat offense they ran last year is being expanded considerably.

During a practice session this week, White lined up as the only player in the backfield in a so-called “WildPat” look after previous assignments in recent weeks where the former West Virginia star played wide receiver with running back Ronnie Brown running the Wildcat, according to Dave Hyde of the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel.

Last year, Dolphins coach Tony Sparano said that the team was “just scratching the surface” of the Wildcat.

White said that the Dolphins’ multi-dimensional offense “expands the spread.”

White added that the Denver Broncos were the only team to work him out strictly at quarterback at an individual workout while the New England Patriots auditioned him at wide receiver and as a kick returner.

The Dolphins, who drafted White in the second round, didn’t have White in for a workout before the NFL Draft to try to keep their plans unknown to other NFL teams.

Remember, Henning really started the wildcat with the Panthers when Jake was injured and our only answer was Weinkie. We ran the wildcat without Weinkie against Atlanta and won the game.

Anyone else remember?

Yes...we put Williams in the backfield.

That said, NFL teams will be much more ready for it this year.

Wildcat was a gimmick that worked last season. Now with alot of film on the Dolphins, expect to see it shut down in the upcoming season.

yet it continued to work late into the season. By that point there was plenty of film. Throw in someone like White that can throw the ball better than Ronnie Brown and you have a dangerous offense.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
