Raiders And Jets Could Both Use Wildcat Formation Sunday
17th October, 2008 - 12:10 pm
New York Daily News - The Dolphins have successfully run the 'Wildcat' formation with Ronnie Brown this season, but the Jets actually ran it a year ago.

In separate games, running back Leon Washington scored on an 18-yard run and completed a 36-yard pass - both on direct snaps in shotgun formation.

When that was mentioned to him this week, Washington smiled.

"Thank you, I appreciate that," he said.

The Raiders have used it three times with Darren McFadden, and now that the rookie running back has recovered from a turf-toe injury that hampered him for a month, it could be featured in their game plan.

"I love doing it," McFadden said on a conference call, hinting it could be part of the Raiders' package this week. "Growing up, I played quarterback a lot, so being able to go back and take a direct snap under center just makes you feel at home again." [READ]
