    Running the wildcat with Roscoe at QB

    I know I know - the secret is out on how to defend the wildcat. However, maintaining your gaps on defense doesn't change the fact that the offense picks up an extra blocker.

    Since Roscoe is our emergency QB and can therefore complete a pass or two, the defense would in theory have to think about the pass on a rollout. Why not run him out of the wildcat once or twice to see what happens? Split Lee and Hardy wide, with Roscoe, and either a heavy (fine, schouman) or flex package (Lynch jackson/(TE)) in the backfield. Let Roscoe make the play call at the line given two or three options. See what happens.

    Cats suck.

    The wildcat is no exception.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all     true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can     mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

          its not a terrible idea, im all for fresh ideas on O, but I think Roscoe might be a little to small to run off tackle. however, if we only ran it once or twice and did something totally unpredictable, then who knows.

            I love the idea.

            During the games I have attended, I have watched him throw during warmups, and the guy throws ropes.

            I can't believe we haven't given an end around/reverse with an option wrinkle yet.

            The little guy can bring it!

              Do we really want Roscoe making a play call?

                Jackson would be better at it, and I believe he is actually the E-QB.

                  This reeks of Mularkey-esque ideas.

                  To be honest I hate the wildcat formation if it means splitting the QB out wide. Trent needs to be on the sidelines if we are going wildcat.

                    Yes. If you make it to the NFL, you should be able to have an innate sense of what will work best. And if you're not sure, just go with what coach called.

                    Give him a primary run with an option to check to a roll out, at least.

                      Totally agreed.

                      Does anyone know, as long as roscoe isn't listed as a qbon the depth chart, he can come in and play qb for a few plays with no 'QB' on the field and not affect anyone elses ability to come back in. Right?

                        Is this a serious post?

                          I like the idea CONSIDERING WE CAN'T RUN THE BALL IN THE TRADITIONAL WAY. we have NOTHING to lose.

                            I think it is, we need something to spark this offense.

                              Maybe I misunderstood.

                              It looks to me that the post asks a question regarding the legality of using someone in a position that that player is not listed on the depth chart.

                              If I misunderstood it, I apologize.
