This whole conversation around shotgun/under center is so wild to me because it looks like people believe it is this brand new thing with the Bengals and ZT and it isn't. In 2021, Burrow was in shotgun on 64% of snaps. This team has never been a shotgun only team except for when Burrow was struggling with an injury and shortly after his recovery. They very obviously want to incorporate both looks but couldn't because of a very specific situation. 

That's an entirely different problem. That means a vast majority of the time we're not in shotgun we're running and the vast majority of the time we're in shotgun we're passing, which opposing teams are definitely going to know.

Under Center
2023: 131 rushes/44 pass attempts
2022: 197 rushes/54 pass attempts
2021: 306 rushes/82 pass attempts

Shotgun
2023: 252 rushes/571 pass attempts
2022: 205 rushes/560 pass attempts
2021: 130 rushes/473 pass attempts
