[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 378628, member: 282"] There are a couple of questions here: [LIST=1] [*]Can you run the flexbone successfully out of shotgun? Army, Navy, and UCF all ran the flexbone successfully out of shotgun, so [B]yes[/B].[B] [/B](Possibly, it gives a passing advantage) [*]Are there reasons you'd prefer to run it under center? [B]Yes[/B], there are some blocking angles that you get from running under center that give you an OL advantage. Plus, it's an extra three feet to make up. [*]Does running under shotgun free the DE from having to choose whether to take the B-Back or the QB? The article says yes, but every time I've seen a read-option out of the shotgun (Carolina Panthers, Auburn, Ohio State, Florida), the DE does seem to have to choose and often gets burned. Why this situation is different is beyond me. [*]Do we have enough time to train to be good in both shotgun and under center? [B]Apparently not[/B]. [*]Why don't we go to shotgun full time? Because CPJ likes under center better, and it's a lot easier to get one yard on fourth down that way. [*]Are opposing defensive coordinators being honest with CPJ when they comment on what is challenging to defend in the flexbone? Your guess is as good as mine. [*]Will we run shotgun again? [B]Probably, just not under CPJ.[/B] [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
