    Don't be surprised if the Browns take the WildDawg to a new level.

    😎

    sounds good to me!

        I don't mind the cake having a bit of decoration on it but I wouldn't want a full mouth of frosting.

        I hope the mix is sensible and not too ridiculous. We need establish a decent NFL balanced offense this season - at least the start of one. I worry too much WildDawg will backfire on us.

          Yeah that would be pretty intersting to have defense's wondering who is getting the ball Seneca Or Cribbs,Maybe have Cribbs line up at wideout have Seneca throw him the ball in the flat and then maybe he hits someone for a bomb?? there is a ton of options they could due with this formation

            I just think the amount they will use it will depend on the success of it . Hell Mangini is not the type to run a non-working play into the ground Howie .

              I think it is just one more weapon at our disposal. Making the best use out of the talent around you and all. We've always complained about not being able to get the ball into playmakers hands and this does just that. The key to using it of course is acknowledging when it is beneficial and when it just becomes too gimicky and hurts the team.

              The NFL is all about keeping the defenses guessing, so this will be a positive for our team.

              In order to appreciate the top you have to spend some time at the bottom.

                One thing to keep in mind, is Wallace is a legit QB too. So snap to Cribbs, throw to Wallace in the Flat, and have Wallace hit someone long.

                Additionally, put them both out there, shift Harrison and Vickers back and Cribbs wide, and you have a standard formation. Not much fall off from Delhomme to Wallace in my opinion.

                This could be a scary good unit with all the options and shifts they can do. The defenders should be entirely confused this year.

                  Been channeling Marie Antoinette? With our OL the running game will be our bread and butter (or meat and potatos) and this WildDawg will, as you wish, just be a little pastry.

                    I would certainly hope the Browns could show quite a bit more firepower on offense considering they were 32d in total offense last year. And that's last place folks. Who are the playmakers going to be?

                    Cribbs and Wallace in this WildDawg?

                    Harrison lugging the ball like he did at the end of last year? With a little help from Davis/Hardesty?

                    I think our TEs can be quality....get them more involved in the action of trying to move the chains.

                    QB and WR are still the big question marks....and that is half of a normal offenses output. So MoMass and Robo et all have to step it up big time. No "rookie" excuses.

                    And Delhomme has to revert to his former form, or at least be about 50/50 on TD/Int. ratio. 8 TDs and 18 Ints. won't cut it.

                        I'd like to see a 4-deep backfield with Vickers at FB, Hillis and Cribbs split at HB and Wallace at QB.

                          I like it. From here on out we never refer to it as Wildc_t ... infact, we will alter the software here to take care of it in honor of ClevelandFanForLife.

                            what i would love to see is senica in the shotgun, cribbs to his right, and vickers to his left, running a triple option where you let the LE/OLB come basically free, and pitch it either inside to vickers or outside to cribbs. could really slow down the pass rush from that side and help out that side of the line

                                As a Seahawk fan I would like to give you guys a little heads up on Seneca Wallace. He is fast and he is

                                athletic and he is a QB, but he will not be successful for you in a WildDawg formation. The WildDawg requires

                                that the guy lined up at QB be a threat to take off running as one of the possible options. Anyone that

                                has watched tape of Seneca over the last few years knows he is NOT going to run. Forwards anyways.

                                Lining him up as a RB would be pretty funny, but a direct snap to him is the same as an awkward shotgun

                                snap. He's not going to run. Lining him up at WR is a way to get a completion because he can catch a

                                football, but you'd be lucky get more than two yards before he steps out of bounds. You see, Seneca

                                pictures himself as a drop back passer. Unfortunately he is too short to see over his own offensive line,

                                so he takes huge drops at break neck speed and if his primary receiver is not open, he sprints to the

                                sidelines and runs out of bounds instead of throwing the ball away even though he is well out of the

                                pocket. The Browns might develop a decent WildDawg package. I've seen Cribs, I know he is a stud, but

                                Seneca will break your heart and he isn't going to fool any defensive coordinators. Also, I know Mangini

                                is your head coach, but Holmgren *hates* the WildDawg. If he has any say in it, you won't be running the

                                WildDawg at all. Good luck to the Browns and Holmgren this year. Kick the Steelers' a**.

                                    what i would love to see is senica in the shotgun, cribbs to his right, and vickers to his left, running a triple option where you let the LE/OLB come basically free, and pitch it either inside to vickers or outside to cribbs. could really slow down the pass rush from that side and help out that side of the line

                                    As a Seahawk fan I would like to give you guys a little heads up on Seneca Wallace. He is fast and he is

                                    athletic and he is a QB, but he will not be successful for you in a WildDawg formation. The WildDawg requires

                                    that the guy lined up at QB be a threat to take off running as one of the possible options. Anyone that

                                    has watched tape of Seneca over the last few years knows he is NOT going to run. Forwards anyways.

                                    Lining him up as a RB would be pretty funny, but a direct snap to him is the same as an awkward shotgun

                                    snap. He's not going to run. Lining him up at WR is a way to get a completion because he can catch a

                                    football, but you'd be lucky get more than two yards before he steps out of bounds. You see, Seneca

                                    pictures himself as a drop back passer. Unfortunately he is too short to see over his own offensive line,

                                    I think you bring up some legitimate concerns about Wallace. Not having seen a lot of him, many of us thought that perhaps he was sort of a "Michael Vick Lite" type of QB....you know, the stereotypical "athletic" black QB. But, it seems that you are saying that perhaps he is more of a "Byron Leftwich Stout Ale"....that is far more of a drop back, cement overshoe type QB than we believe?

                                    Is this a fair statement?

                                      Well, I don't know if it is the only way, But it helped somewhat in that game last year. That game was won by the Browns primarily by the defense. (6 points....8 sacks). What offensive production the Browns did have was due in a big part to Cribbs gaining 87 yards on only 8 carries, but without the defensive performance that offensive output of only scoring 13 points, surely, would not have been enough to win most games.

                                        Ya gotta love the software altering the verse to WildDawg each time ... we will have this a common term on ESPN by week #4, and the PD will mention it by the end of next week.
