Interesting stats on Bengals' offense from shotgun formation compared to other. First of all, everyone understands "yards per play".
ypp shotgun... 6.8 (#1 in league)
ypp other....... 4.7 (22)
difference...... 2.1 (#1 in favor of shotgun)
FootballOutsiders DVOA formula weighs gains based on down and distance. A 3 yard gain on 3rd and 2 is much more valuable than on 2nd and 10.
DVOA shotgun... 12th
DVOA other....... 25th
Difference......... 1st
It seems pretty clear that we were a MUCH better offense out of the shotgun.
So why we were 18th in the league in percentage of plays ran out of the shotgun formation?
