DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — A gimmick? Nonsense? The Miami Dolphins don't like the way their wildcat is being belittled.

Triggerman Ronnie Brown had a suggestion Wednesday for those who disparage the funky formation: Just stop it and the Dolphins will move on to something else.

The New York Jets were less than gracious after they failed to tame the wildcat Monday night in a 31-27 loss at Miami. The Dolphins gained 110 yards with the formation, including 2 on their final play for the winning score with 6 seconds left.

Jets coach Rex Ryan described the wildcat as a gimmick out of college. Linebacker Calvin Pace called the formation "nonsense."
