The Wildcat Power Diagram, Note where the QB is lined up.
With the emergence of Josh Cribbs and his evolution into trying to get him the ball more, the Browns installed there version of the Wildcat (which was more or less taken/carried over from Josh's days at Kent State), the "Flash" package.
In another year where the Browns will have another starting QB and three total new ones on the roster, lets take note of QB Seneca Wallace. In his two years at Iowa St, he was more of a mobile QB than a pass happy precision beast. Some of you may remember what is called "the run":
At times while in Seattle, Wallace has made some flashy plays, but with Delhomme and his giant 1 yr contract, Colt "the wonder boy" McCoy probably sitting this season out learning the system, the only chance Wallace may get to see the field is if the Cyclone package is initiated.
You may be asking yourself, "what is the difference between the Flash and Cyclone package? Is Cribbs not in it anymore?"
Here's the beauty of the Cyclone. Cribbs and Wallace are both on the field at the same time! What a dream come true for offensive coach Brian Daboll. (OK i was trying to play that up a little bit). Two former college QB's on the field at the same time and possibly Delhomme, just imagine all the defensive mismatches this could create.
Because the of the unsureness of what Jake Delhomme may bring us this season, the Browns coaching staff may be going for the WTF factor on defenses this year in order to put some points up on the board.
Teams that have franchise QB's like Tom Brady, Carson Palmer, Phillip Rivers and so on don't have to worry about the Wildcat packages. There teams QB play and other play makers on the field negate having to use that college spread offense system.
Outside of Cribbs on special teams, who do we currently have?
Whether this Cyclone package is legit or not remains to be seen. But it could make for some interesting games.
