Any time you take the QB out of a snap and let someone else handle the football its a good thing for the defense. The Wildcat and all its BS had its great moments like in the Dolphins/Pats game but as the season went on and teams gameplanned for it the Wildcat became a non-factor.

Its not really a trick formation, its a type of single wing offense which was a football standard for awhile. I dont see the wildcat (or the single wing) becoming the NFL's offense of choice but I do expect to see more teams trying wildcat formations more often this year. I think with JC's mobility and ARE throwing skills, the Skins could have success with wildcat plays.
