I guess what I'm saying is this: we've tipped our hand with the wildcat already. teams are going to have on field read calls when we go to the Wildcat and carson splits out to WR. won't most defenses do some version of man cover 1 or man under when they see a wildcat formation? it would stack the box. so at that point, we better have something to counter whatever they have for us. and, imo you can counter anything they would want to do by having threats at all positions, which includes WR...with Klein in the wildcat package you still would be able to retain the option of a pass, only it's more veiled than have carson out there.
True. If they go cover 1 (I'm assuming you mean with 1 free), then we should still have a numbers advantage. That's probably the most likely adjustment with Coffan still on the field. But if a team goes cover 0 (no free) then you've got to do something. That's probably what most people would do if just Thomas was in the game with no QB on the field when the huddle is broken. I'm also assuming teams would change personnel as well, especially since they've seen us do it already. If I knew no QB was in the huddle, I'd take out a DB and put in a LB, go cover 0, and send 5 or 6 guys. In most situations, and especially with our Oline, that would probalby blow-up the Wildcat.
If they do try that adjustment with Coffman still on the field, then Snyder has to be willing to see if Thomas can check at the LOS and throw some sort of fade/vertical. Of course, that's putting more responsibility on guy than Snyder is probalby willing to give, especially if he's not taking regular snaps at QB.
