Heck no. I want to see 9 lineman on the field with Gore and Hunter running the Wildcat!

They did line up in the wildcat on one play yesterday. It went nowhere but I'll bet it was in there just to give Brother John something to game plan for.

Actually it led to a false start if I'm not mistaken.

You may be right. I haven't had time to re-watch the game. I just remember saying, "Whoa," and then seeing nothing memorable.

I imagine John has thrown in a couple of wrinkles for Jim to skull over as well.

Still, it would be beastly to come out in this formation and with gore in shotgun, run right and (in the tone of Chris Berman), WHOOOOP!, reverse to Hunter with Walker, Staley and Snyder pounding the lbs and safeties

We can do anything out of the jumbo formation: run, pass, bootleg, you name it. Just when defenses think we're going to ram Gore up the middle -- Alex can hit a jump pass to Vernon. The Jumbo keeps other teams guessing.

Especially when our jumbo guys can catch also.

I'm sure they're setting up for that but had no use in wasting it on AZ. With the TOs and field position we seriously could have taken a knee every possession and kicked enough FGs to win this game.

True. I see a big play coming out of this formation on Thursday.
