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

I'm not sure.

I know that Jake works very well off a play fake, as well as a shotgun formation. We have also become very good at draw plays with DeAngelo. I think we should the shotgun more.

[Chaos]

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

agreed.

47% of our passes were from the shotgun against Green Bay. (8 of 17 attempts)

18% of our total plays were from the shotgun against Green Bay. (8 of 44 attempts)

There were 17 pass attempts and 27 run attempts. Run vs Pass balance is skewed because of:

1) 3 rush attempts by DeAngelo at the end of the game running out the clock, and

2) 5 rush attempts because of run bias for goal line offense on the 1 yard line.

After subtracting the necesarry run bias plays, we had pretty good balance.

Almost half of our pass attempts were from the shotgun. Our playcalling was balanced properly between run/pass for the game situations IMO. There is no problem here in not running the shotgun often enough, against Green Bay anyway.

This somewhat ties in with the Run 'n Shoot discussion we had.

1. Jake doesn't like shotgun

2. While running a delay/draw out of the shotgun has been effective for us on 3rd and long, shotgun isn't suited to power running and won't draw the defenders closer to the line of scrimmage for our mainly 2nd and 3rd level passing game.

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

Clearly we are using something that is working.

There is also a point that if something is used to much, it'll be something other teams begin to key on.

[No More Rebuilding]

60% of the time, it works everytime.

[Sandy Claws]

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

Did you know Gross has only given up 3 sacks this year?

I didn't think so.

We are putting up 25+ points a game. Our Offense is working.

I agree. Besides, we run the ball too much to be putting the QB in the shotgun all the time, which is the way Panthers football should be played IMO.

Something wrong with trying to get those points more easily?
