Joe Flacco rips Baltimore Ravens use of Wildcat offense - ESPN
Could you imagine TB ever saying or doing such a thing given his competitive nature and his respect for BB??
Agreed that it is a pretty crazy supposition that BB (with his respect for Brady) would be silly enough to run the wildcat with someone else at QB on a ROUTINE basis.
But BB has run flea-flickers with TB going out for a pass on at least 3 occasions that I recall (although I believe all the plays started play w/ TB under/behind center and not lined up as a wr)..... & TB has not shyed away from doing his part on those plays.
So, pretty self-centered on Flacco's part to both publicly put-down his coach's judgement (in effect) and not try to pull his guy/keep him out of the play by at least doing something.
On the other hand, it could be a deliberate setup for later on in the year. Watch out for it: if some game when the Ravens are desperate & the shadow man (CB) plays off him; Flacco might actually take his hands out of the warmer and go deep.
Flacco didn't hide his dislike of the Wildcat when he lined up at wide receiver. He was so disinterested, he kept his hands in his front pouch and barely moved off the line after the ball was snapped.
"I'm not doing a single thing," Flacco said about splitting out wide. "I'm not blocking. I'm not doing anything."
