Only NO and NYG have a higher DVOA out of the shotgun than Carolina...

...but only Seattle and Houston use the shotgun less often than the Panthers, who use it on just 13 percent of plays.

Why aren't we using something that is clearly working?

Fox would rather establish a solid running game with d-will and j-stu

I've been asking that for about 2-3 seasons. LOL

Maybe it works because they don't run it all the time.

You know when we aren't running, we pass right? Not trying to be smartass, but that has nothing to do with why we don't throw in the shotgun some more.

Maybe our offense knows what they're doing?

element of surprise...?

jake is horrible when he has to step up in the pocket.

let's not give DEs more a chance to blow past Gross any more than they already have

I'm assuming that's a rhetorical question Mega

Its too easy to win games by doing what you do well.

Truly great teams win by doing the things they are shit at.

[beastson]

Thats why I say its crucial to come out throwing, especially on first

They just said "Tampa Bay has the league's best defensive DVOA on second and long."

Fits well against us running on 1st, pick up little yards then try to throw

[Cavscout]

I think that rainwater has gathered the right answer

[tarheelpride]

if i was fox, i'd come out in shotgun on the 1st play and throw it deep

Truly great teams win by doing the things they are sh*t at.

I guess that explains us winning last week's game largely as a result of special teams.

THAT little? And here I was thinking that this year they were running it more than they did under Henning's tenure (2007 doesn't count because of all the issues). Would love to see the comparisons between OCs on that.
