What did you think of the pass out of the wildcat yesterday? I had just been talking to a friend (also a Jets fan) about wanting to see it. I wish they would try and use Brad Smith more.

Every team has wildcat plays now and defenses are prepared for it. Few teams have had success with it this year because it no longer surprises anyone.

Agreed, but I think the wildcat still works for the Jets because Brad Smith is such a playmaker. At least it has a handful of times this year and they only break it out once or twice a game. I just don't remember seeing them pass out of it this year, until yesterday. Normally it's just Smith running the option.

The fact that he's thrown two passes this year is a testament to how stupid Schottenheimer is. Dude was a four-year college QB with a strong arm and there are dozens of RBs and WRs who have thrown more passes than him this year. It also makes teams stop creeping up to the line whenever they see him in the game. I also like lining him up under center rather than in the shotgun all the time.
