I think we could run the Wildcat to great results with Boldin back there. Guy can run, throw, do anything. He's a very dangerous weapon, and with the Wildcat trend going on right now, I wouldn't be surprised to see him back there in a game soon.
They ran Boldin in the backfield, but it was still a traditional set that saw the occasional direct snap.how soon we all forget
the Cardinals ran that last year from time to time

It wasn't the so-called Wilcat formation.
The problem is that Warner isn't even as much of a threat as Pennington when he would have to flank out, and he might get broken in half.

So don't put Warner out there? Or is that a big part of why the WC works?
The threat of the receiver (WR) coming around on the end around to throw the ball is what makes it work. No way Warner could move those 10-15 steps needed to make it successful.
Yeah, that's what I was saying--it was a traditional formation with a direct snap. That's not the wildcat.it was a direct snap
they ran it in the SF game, and they ran it against Balt and Wash

We ran him as an H-Back a few times. Not in a direct snap formation. The QB was there as well, and an option was the direct snap to Q.
I personally loved him in the H-Back but it was more meant to get him the ball in swing passes or handoffs. In the Wildcat, it puts the ball in his hands directly, immediately.

With options to throw, pass, run, or handoff to the other HB, WR or the QB coming back from the flanker position.In the Wildcat, it puts the ball in his hands directly, immediately.
Not true. Boldin had a couple direct snaps last year.
Off of the H-Back though, right? I don't recall him ever lined up back there with no QB.

I don't think there was a QB back there. I remember it was in the red zone.
Hmm....
Dammit! I'd almost forgotten!2 point conversion in Washington last year?
