That 'dumb ass WildDawg crap' WORKS. When it stops working, the team won't do it anymore. I hit upon an article the other day that explained the WildDawg as a strategy to help eliminate some of the wear and tear on QBs and not just a gimmick.
I'm just baffled by people who talk as though Josh Cribbs were some bum on the street who was brought in strictly as a publicity stunt. He's a part of this team and his contribution is just as valuable as that of any other player. Plus, there's the added bonus that he just loves what he's doing, and seems like a genuinely nice guy.
Its a gimmick and Someone will design a D to stop it. Its 1950 football. Cant be that hard , once a DC Figures out its Here to stay Until it gets stopped. It will be neutralized.

When does something stop being a "gimmick" and become just another part of the game plan?

lol due the WildDawg is an Offense Ran in the 40`s and 50`s... Not exactly Cutting edge. But your right a Viable part of the game plan , at this point. I just think it will be rendered as trickery in the near future.

Is It Time To Remove "Gimmick" From The WildDawg In The NFL?
Now that the one year anniversary of the WildDawg formation (notice I don't call it an 'offense', because it actually falls into a formation category in the long tail of the spread offense family) is behind us, and the Miami Dolphins celebrated the one year birthday with another display of solid execution in the WildDawg, could we all stop calling it a 'gimmick'?
Think back to the creation of the the 'zone blitz' on the defensive side of the ball, when Dick LeBeau, Defensive Coordinator of the Pittsburgh Steelers unleashed it on the NFL in the early 90's... was that called a 'gimmick'.. or 'brilliance'?
Think about it... what's more 'gimmicky', dropping a 300 pound defensive linemen into pass coverage, or putting an athletic running back into a single wing shot gun formation?
In Super Bowl XLIII when James Harrison returned an interception 100 yards for the Steelers on a zone blitz call, I don't remember any of the TV announcers saying: "Boy, that zone blitz gimmick really had the Cardinals offense off balance on that play".
Anyone who knows anything about football knows that schemes are only as good as the execution of the players performing the scheme.
Lets start praising the player execution of the WildDawg formation, and not some made up 'gimmick' pixie dust that TV announcers and certain journalists will have you believe is the only thing making the WildDawg a success in the NFL.

It says something about the WildDawg when one of the greatest D coordinators of all time, Dick Lebeau, can't figure out how to stop it. Oh, and stop bitching about us bagging on the steelers, this is a browns forum, if you don't like it, don't log on.

I mean, you got a guy there now in Dennis Dixon who could probably do a hell of a job with it. Wasn't he a great running QB in college?
The one thing I think Cribbs needs to do occasionally is to throw from that formation. He was a college QB. He threw nearly 1200 passes for over 7000 yards at Kent State. He can throw.

.Its not and You are correct. We stopped using it because Kordell became the starter. I LIKE it man... but I think it will get Phased out. Because the DC wizards will take it out. Teams with a guy like Cribbs will be able to use it longer . Because he is a Stud at it , AND they will eventually allow him to pass more. Making it even MORE DEadly. But all in All. Some Genius will nullify it. IMHO... and I could be wrong. No doubt.
