Marty Mornhinweg had a lot to say today during his weekly news conference but what he didn’t say spoke louder than what he did say. Marty let us know why the Eagles are so enthusiastic about the Wildcat formation.
The Birds offensive coordinator was asked whether they were using the formation because of their inability to run the ball out of regular formations.
Marty starting talking about the Wildcat formation and the success they’ve had running the ball out of it. He talked about the problems they’ve had running the ball out of regular formations.
He never said yes or no about the claim that they’re using the Wildcat formation to replace an ineffective running game. He didn’t have to answer it.
The answer to the question is very obvious. Yes the Eagles are using the Wildcat formation to replace their running game.
