[QUOTE="TromboneJacket, post: 862307, member: 2580"] I’m loving this discussion of Shotgun vs Under Center, and I think there are pros and cons to both. It seems that under center is better for hitting the hole faster because the RB is already running downhill when the mesh happens. And it’s better for play action because the QB turns his back and obscures the ball during the mesh. For the B-back types we had under CPJ, it’s clearly a good fit. And it’s easier for the center to go from snapping to blocking. If we had a QB with good footwork who could throw well on the run, I believe under center makes bootlegs easier/smoother as well. In the Shotgun, it’s easier to make reads on option plays because of the wider field of vision and the wider disparity in angles taken by edge rushers. It makes running laterally easier because the RB gets the ball before having to commit to a gap. On play action, it’s harder to trick the defense, but the QB can get a head start on reading the field while faking the mesh. For the shiftier backs we have now (like Dontae), shotgun zone running schemes make more sense. [/QUOTE]
