I agree though, offenses can be more productive under shotgun (which you have shown) but when you start to show tendencies and defenses know what is coming based on formation...that's when you have a problem.
That's fair. I was looking at their early conversation, where they were speaking about how much you have available to you under center and how everything looks the same etc.
Cincinnati has shown tendencies for sure. Personally, I would be fine scrapping most UC plays and just going shotgun with a bunch of RPOs & play-actions mixed in. I am also not an NFL offensive coordinator, so I am sure there is something I am missing.
