1 in 116 chance for 20+ out of the shotgun.
vs
6 in 329 chance for 20+ not in shotgun.
Which seems like a pretty easy answer that shotgun is worse, except for the fact that the other 54 or so carries in between 20+ yard runs not in the shotgun, he's only gaining 3.4 yards per carry. Who would you rather have?
RB #1: Gets 115 carries at 4.4 YPC, then gets a 20+ yard run, repeat.
RB #2: Gets 54 carries at 3.4 YPC, then gets a 20+ yard run, repeat.
Having Hill run with the QB under center is actually worse for both him and the offense. Maybe it might give him more long highlight runs, but in the meantime, for every single long run he's had, he's also had 54 crap runs. Give me a guy who can churn out steady yards every time. Not to mention the guy who can churn out steady yards every time also is better for the QB.
So while it might help your toxic differential thing, it wouldn't help your offense, your quarterback, or your running back.
Are you dense? I have never said that once that it helped or hurt or it should happen or not happen...I simply stated...PERTAINING TO 20+ YARD RUNS...Hill is more likely than not to have these type of gains not in shotgun...that he needed a full head of steam lined up deep... Is it really that hard to understand?
Maybe I should have quoted someone previously...My original comment was after the discussion of 20+ yard plays came up.... It had nothing to due with his averages in and out of sg or anything else...Just that his long runs were not in the sg.... Does this help explain my thoughts better?
