Do you see Peppers in wildcat formation this year?

No, No and No

why risk a knee injury coming off the ednge of the line with backs blitzing on your best defensive player.
We tried having a RB/Athlete at Qb for about 3 years a little while ago and I'm damn glad it's over.
There is that same risk with punt/kick returning...

Actually, the answer to the second question is "yes."
it seems that Peppers will snap the ball to himself, lob it downfield, beat 11 defenders to his own thrown ball and dive into the endzone making a spectacular one handed grab in the back of the endzone.
Oh, and then he'll play defense all game too...lol
Do you not?

I think the wild-cat kinda played itself out...especially in the pros. Without a true threat to pass, it is easy to stop a run by selling out. I hope they are more creative than that. Ok once in a while, but don't overdo it.
99% of the time it's incredibly obvious what's about to happen. Like when Justin Feagin would come in the game or a few times when Denard was injured IIRC
Everyone in the world (but the OC apparently) knows exactly what's about to happen
While I agree somewhat, the purpose is to get an extra blocker and/or run an option that makes a defender wrong regardless of what he does. There's not a whole lot of secrecy about Paul Johnson's offense, either, but the offense works. I think the Wildcat can be effective in small doses.
and Harbaugh has been bringing in a ton of blockers to the offensive side.
I'd say wildcat is plausible. what is peppers going to do from the slot? catch a couple short passes and hope he cracks something? the end around are predictable as hell with a decoy.
I think that is an unfair comparison. Wildcat, where the running back picks a hole or follows a blocker. MAYBE a hand-off option. The option scheme, on the otherhand, is precision at its best. Timing, spacing, and numerous options are available at all times. Furthermore, an option QB can still throw the ball, and even if there not the best passer, you still need to respect that option.
Overall, the comparison between an offense that over time is rarely ineffective (even with average athletes) and a heavily predictable running package, is not sound.
August 9th, 2015 at 11:19 AM ^
Its possible. I know harbaugh did a but of wildcat at Stanford.
August 9th, 2015 at 11:19 AM ^
I really don't see them using him this way. It's possible I guess but most likely they'd use him as a receiver. Stick him in the slot and let him make plays from there.
August 9th, 2015 at 11:20 AM ^
And, yes. He did play QB at times in HS. I thought everyone knew that.
August 10th, 2015 at 10:31 AM ^
They even used him to run the wildcat in the Army All American game in high school.
August 9th, 2015 at 11:22 AM ^
If Jabrill gets snaps on offense I sure as heck hope it's not from the wildcat. He'd be best served at running back or wide receiver. Not only is it less obvious as to what we'd be doing but that way nothing is forced his way and his presence alone will open up better matchups across the board.

And please change the title so people don't think you're actually asking a question that might have some shred of fact or evidence behind it--like "Peppers was seen in the Wildcat at practice today, do you think they'll use him this way?". This thread sucks

dipshit. Get it right.
and this thread set up a discussion about the football team. Instead of being an internet brat, contribute or don't post over and over (the internet equivalent of a tantrum).

Thanks for the heads up. And for what it's worth, that's not what it was setup like originally when I made the comment. The OP went back and edited the post.

Do you feel good about this comment?

You can argue until you're blue in the face... and neck... and chest... and arms, but you won't convince me otherwise.

I'd like to seem them gain yards with Smith/Green/Isaac.
Only if we scrimmage a HS team that is incapable of tackling... so, UNLV maybe?
Wait a second, I thought UNLV was the scrimmage. Did I misread the schedule? I may have.
To be fair, they did have to reach out to Gorman Thomas to get their current coach, I believe, so it is almost the same in a way.

No, we're still pretty grumpy even sober and fully sexed.

Agreed, though a good cup of joe takes the grumpy edge off.

Also, getting drunk again helps. This is the strategy I implemented this morning. Along with the being fully sexed....

A (stupid) message board thread is pressure?
I'm to go out on a limb and say you never played sports, did you?
August 9th, 2015 at 11:41 AM ^
I think they may lightly use him early in the season and if we are winning and get rolling maybe get him more involved. Depending on how well he plays on defense though it would be a HUGE risk to pound him on offense. (If he is as good as we all think he's going to be)
