Wildcat

The experts always say that the only offense that will work in the NFL is the basic pro set stuff that we say every Sunday. Sure, you might run a west coast flavor or something like Mike Martz, but it's all pretty similar. Don't dare bring up the spread or other "gimmick" offenses. Players in the NFL are just too big, fast, smart, etc for that kind of thing to work. So why is Miami having such success mixing in the wildcat (or single wing) offense? Are the experts wrong? Could some of the diversity that makes college football fun to watch work in the NFL if it was given a chance?

What I want to know is: Have NFL teams stopped watching film? Did they all fire their video "breakdown" guy? How is Ronnie Brown STILL scoring on those plays, let alone getting huge yardage? Is the play that difficult? Is he that fast? Didn't he have some major injury last season?
