Should we cool it with the big jumbo formations ?

Seems like the Cards were ready for our jumbo packages with Sopoaga and extra offensive lineman ..maybe the rest of the league is taking notice and preparing for it and we cant surprise anyone with it anymore I'd like to see us throw a 5 WR formation on the field for a 1st and goal play ....what do you guys think ? ...should we keep pounding away with the big formation or use it sparringly from now on?

we need to start doing more creative things out of that formation. we do one thing and one thing only when we line up that way, for the most part. got to start mixing that up. it's coming, though, I'm sure....

It's all about execution. It isn't a mystery anymore. All teams have the tape on it. The Cards just beat the Niners guys at the point of attack. That doesn't mean you scrap it, but maybe run some play action off of it or add a wrinkle to the formation.

I'd like to see us pass out of that formation a little more, then maybe it wont be so predictable and keep the defense on their toes
