The 2008 Miami Dolphins-The Year of the Wild Cat (Game by Game Stats)...

I posted this thread in the Premium Forum the other day, and thought that it should be posted out in the Main also...

Well some have waited, and as promised here it is...

Let state that I could have missed a play attempt or 2, but I believe I was carefull enough to not let it happen...

Let me explain how I will detail it...

How do I know that the play was a WC? Good question...

The information on the play states either one of the following: a RB as QB, Wildcat Formation, or Direct Snap to a RB...

The main WC plays are Rushing Attempts...
The main WCP plays are Passing Attempts...
The OTHR plays are base Rushing Attempts, which include Reverses and QB Scrambles...

All stats were gathered from the NFL "Play-by-Play," and the other pages from the NFL.COM...

There were a Total of 448 Rushing Attempts for 2008 Regular Season Games for a Total of 1,897 yards. From that total, 74 (16.5%) Rushing Attempts for 496 yards (26% of total) came off the WC. Meaning that the other 374 (83.5%) Rushing Attempts for 1,401 yards (74%) came off the Base Offense...

There were a Total of 491 Passing Attempts for the 2008 Regular Season games fro a Total of 3,632 yards. From that total, only 4 (less than 1%) Passing Attempts for 72 yards (2% of total) came of the WC. You can tell why Sporano says there is plenty of WC left in the Bone... enter Pat White...

WC Rushing Attempts= 74 for 496 yds and 5 TDS...
WCP Attempts= 4 for 72 yds and 2 TDS. Note- One Pass was dropped, the other bad throw, but they had scoring potential...

I am not going to cover TDs from the OTHR (Base Offense), but will cover for the WC...
