Sorry, but the wildcat is dead.
Rreggie bush is perfect for it him and Sheets could do a phenominal job, also just saying everyone expects it to be dead, and it probably is however it would be perfect to do a couple right out of the gate just to mess with Belicheat!

That is what you said about Pat White. Your boy Tebow might be available. What would you give for him?
LOL. I might actually enjoy a Mallet whomping . Serve Tony right.
I think our defense is gonna pressure the heck out of Brady. Brady HATES playing J.T. If our DB's can keep up and cover Ochocinco , and Welker & company our anemic offense might be able to out score what our defense can acomplish.
21-20, by the skin of our teeth. Offense does well, but the defense wins this one for us. We intercept Brady twice. One leads to a score, the other comes towards the end when the Pats are driving.
DOlfan1 , I like our team but I am nervous about this game. The Patriots are coming off of a 14-2 season last year. They added Haynesworth and Ocho plus have alot of young players coming into their own...
The Phins has had notoriously slow starts 2 out of 3 years under this regime and even farther back then that. And we have a new system implemented in a short lockout season with no OTA's...I am not making excuses just trying to lay it out...
I do like the fact that Daboll schooled the Patriots last year, and our offensive cordinator accounted for 50% percent of the patriots losses last year. That tells me, he has a plan to beat the patriots at least the defense last year. However the Patriots are said to be changing their defense to more of a 4-3 then 3-4 this year.
Our defenses has the ability to take over and win games and I believe can be one of the best....I like the confidence Bush has help bring to our offense, he is a good leader and leading this offense by having Henne's back so much... There are lots of variables....
I think we have just as good of chance to stunn the patriots, as they do to stunn us... But it is hard to predict an opening week loss for a team that went 14-2 the year before... How many teams would you bet to win this game against the Patriots, if it wasnt us playing them... Not to many... I dont want to devalue the task it is.... We probably have the hardest opeing week game in the entire NFL.. All of that being said, I am probably going to roll the dice and take the Phins in vegas
We have one small factor in our favor. The shortage of practices this year means the offense will not be in as much of a rythem so hopefully we can shut down the offense of NE.
It is very small and they don't seem to need much time if the ps games are any indication.
Other factors...
Dalbol knows the NE offense well...as does Oconnell.
They have no one that really scares you on offense other than Brady and Welker and we have Allen and Sapp to cover the slot.
Their TEs are the biggest weapons and our guys match up with them as well as anyone.
I don't see them running on us with much success.
They will be able to shut down the traditional run game but Bush gives them a matchup nightmare.
They don't have the personnel to cover all our new weapons if we go to a spread with Bush, Clay, Marshall, Hartline, Gates and Bess.

Actually, we have Sapp and Carroll. What I've heard from TC on Allen is not good. I don't think he'll be making the team.

yes, we have a very good LB corp. Something that NE hasn't seen from us in a long time.

Problem is we have no alignments that put all those guys in the game together, as far as I know.
No. It would be impossible to put all those guys on the field at the same time. 5 lineman and a QB leaves 5 spots but I heard we ran a few 4 reciever sets the other night....Bush as the single back and there ya go.
