I'm okay with the Wildcat if -- the opponent is in nickel/dime, and if we have heavy blockers in there.  Suddenly the deck is stacked in favor of a run.

I think the misdirection works if the defense is in nickel/dime since they're anticipating a pass anyway...and when they realize the OG is pulling and the TE is blocking, it might be too late.

Having TyMont or CMac in there taking a direct snap telegraphs too much, but with Burns in there, the threat of a pass is at least mildly credible...or somewhat possible...
