There's no real downside, or nothing major. Arizona and Philly are in shotgun over 75% of the time, which is tops in the league. You lose the ability to QB sneak, I guess. Cincinnati is in shotgun 57% of the time. I am all for bumping that up and introducing more RPO's to the offense. Spreading the defense out and letting the backs have less congested boxes as well.
