I have been on the side of the folks who think that the Wildcat is a disruptive and transformational force in the NFL -- not an incremental gimmick or fad.
And while the rest of the league timidly pursues some implementation of it, the Dolphins continue to go all-in -- and last night was nearly the landmark that its debut was a year ago.
Even as defensive genius Rex Ryan dismisses it as a "gimmick," the question that leads today's SN column is this: If your team is terrible, why WOULDN'T you experiment more boldly with it?
*Braylon Edwards: Can't complain about his debut.
*Kevin Durant finally gets plus-minus (he was plus-24 last night).
*NFL coach who needs to be fired: Fox? Zorn? How about Del Rio?
*Rasheed Wallace is crazy: 72 wins for this Celtics team? Guess what: They're not even winning the East, let alone winning 72.
A lot more in the column today -- check it out here. More later.
