Daily Links: Guess Who’s Back
thejetsblog.com — Did you miss me? I missed you! Really. Honestly. You’re all I thought about all weekend. Well that and $8 beers. But that’s all water under the bridge..

I Hope Andre Caldwell Never Takes a Wildcat Snap
Stripe Hype | A Cincinnati Bengals Blog — Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andre Caldwell will see more of the “Wildcat” formation in 2009 after getting a handful of snaps in the Wildcat last season.

How Drew Rosenhaus Killed The WildCat Formation
Free Fantasy Magazine — FTW Football Edition How Drew Rosenhaus Killed The WildCat Formation The NFL is a league based on paradox and nowhere is it more apparent than the league’s salary structure.  The highest paid position on the field is also the target for all 11 players on defense and thus the most likely to get injured.  The National Football League along with the independent franchises understand that they will only be as successful as their franchise quarterbacks.  Thus, the creation of the franchise left-tackle and the influx of league mandated rules and fines solely focused on protecting the passer. The paradox was most conspicuous in Michael Vick’s 10-year, 130 Million ...
