Of course, there were some lighter moments, too. Like after practice, when quarterback Trent Edwards joked about his role in the "wildcat" formation used by the offense.

Edwards contends the Bills are working on it at camp to prepare the defense for games against the wildcat users, like the Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots.

Wide receiver Roscoe Parrish looks quite comfortable taking the snaps with Edwards lined up to the side, however.

Wow - instead of beating them by 20, NE will beat them by 34 if they prefer planning for the Pats' WC instead of their base offense.

Didn't the Patriots only use the Wildcat formation once last year when Faulk took the snap and threw a negative yardage pass? Yeah, the Pats are a big user of the Wildcat

I hope not!!! The wildcat is such a flash in the pan offense. The novelty will wear off.

if they somehow end up using the wildcat offense, then I want them (nfln/espn) to play the Benny Hill music during any game highlight reel

Wildcat is a good formation. Going forward, the Wildcat's success won't be based on surprise, but on the opponent's lack of planning and/or reaction to it.

No, New England shouldn't run it. Why take TB out of the play?

But, if you don't have a HOF QB, and would like to try to get an advantage through planning, the wildcat makes a lot of sense. If the defense isn't prepared for the wildcat, it will ruin their day.
