Zac's use of shotgun.

That might have played a role with our pass blocking issues last year.  I think defensive lines tend to tee off more on shot gun plays.  This might also explain the effectiveness of running out of shot gun.  The run numbers might also be skewed because of running the ball out of shot gun on 3rd and longs before punting.

Good thread though.  Interesting stuff in an uninteresting part of the year!

KillerGoose answered your question. Nice post, honestly with the moves we made in FA and a RB back there to protect Burrow I 
don't know how Defenses are going to stop us now. The D can tee off on the Shotgun all they want but if they don't get home 
they are screwed big time and it will frustrate the hell out of Defenses going against an accurate Burrow with time and an efficient
running game with Mixon.
