The Dolphins treat the play as if it were a formation in their offense. Most other teams treat it as a gimmick, so, their success rate is low. Last year we had 4 types of plays out of that formation. We've added more to it this year.

A lot of the media mentions QB Pat White as being a part of it, but I haven't had a lot of confidence with him in it. He looks very pretty scrawny when he carries the ball, and when he throws the ball ... well, the only thing he's hit so far is Bill Parcells' golf cart

Still, from what I've heard, they've had two weeks to really concentrate on getting him to be a part of the Wild Cat during their extra week due to the Bye. I'll bet you won't see it. We usually unveil the new stuff when we're facing our AFC opponents.
