Stats prove it. You are wrong. The RB running from the shotgun gets the benefit of getting the ball earlier so he can pick his spot better. Also the shotgun formation keeps the LBs from cheating up to LOS.

Are people just bored to continue to try and convince Brad that the stats don't back up his opinion? While I may be wrong about this, I don't recall him ever moving off his stance, or admitting he was wrong once. I haven't read every thread he's ever posted in, so maybe it's out there somewhere.
While it's entertaining to read sometimes, it's insane that people continue to try this.

So a back has a chance to be pick his spots to run when he's handed the ball from the shotgun and the defense is run blitzing but, even if they weren't, our coaches would to have to know that at least Donald was guaranteed to get pressure into the backfield because our offensive line sucks? Fred's avoiding that question and I know you will too.

I am not avoiding any question. I just don't understand what question you are asking. The point I keep making over and over again is that facts and reality prove that RBs are more effective running out of the shotgun on short yardage situations. And one of those reasons is that the RB has more of an option to pick his hole. Doesn't matter if the defense is playing the run, or blitzing, or crowding the line, or whatever there are still going to be different options available. Some better than others.

I'd put the blame... 1. Zac calling a bland play with Perine in the game instead of Mixon. (biggest moment deserves biggest players despite the seasonal tendencies). 2. Perine for running straight ahead and not being able to get it. 3. Oline not being strong enough to get 1 yard. I'd not consider running a play under center to be a problem because it's not as successful and the defense would have been packed in tighter.

It definitely matters if our offensive line can't stop the defense from getting penetration and how can he pick his holes if the defense loads the box, which you claimed they didn't and didn't even acknowledge that I posted a picture proving you wrong, and run blitzes?

If Perine had just run straight ahead from the snap with Burrow under center, he has a lot better chance to get it because he hits the line faster, the defense has less time to react, and he has more momentum.

The box is generally described as the area between the tackles, spanning about five yards deep into the defensive backfield. Here is a visualization of what the Rams had right at snap. The blue lines represent the "box". The Rams had four players in this area with their ends split out into a wide 9. What if we include those, though? At best, I see an argument for seven players in the box, one of which is a corner. In reality, the "box" has four defensive players in it.
