FWST Blog: Wildcat for Cowboys

The Wildcat likely is coming to the stadium near you. Jerry Jones said the Cowboys could draft a quarterback to use in the Wildcat, a formation made popular by the Miami Dolphins with running back Ronnie Brown taking the snap in the shotgun offense.

"We may want to do some things and our offense this year with a third quarterback," Jones said. "That's something other than be there as a backup to the second quarterback and be there in case you lose all the quarterbacks and be there not certainly as a development prospect, but we could hopefully find a quarterback with a set of skills that we could put some packages in for."

Jones added that third-year receiver Isaiah Stanback, a former quarterback at Washington, also could be used in a Wildcat formation.
The Cowboys have never used the Wildcat formation.
