While we did great with the WildCat in the first Pats game, we only performed so-so for the rest of the year. I think for it to be a long term alternative and flourish it requires the QB to be a true threat both passing and running (e.g., Pat White). There are limited pro players who fit that description.

<<The improvement should come other places via the draft replace Roth w/ a Brian Cushing. IMO that is the week chain on the lb corp. More productivity at that position will generate more from the others.>> I thought Roth had a solid season and was much improved in his new role. He played with fierceness but also was disciplined in his role. There were plenty of times where he hel
