Under Center/shotgun question

[preacher_dawg]

All this talk about Dan being under center brought up a question for you football experts. Dan would often call Dak up the middle from shotgun on a short yardage situation, sometimes needing less than half a yard, which drove me crazy. Am I wrong because of Dak's momentum, or was I right about being upset that you add a few yards to the first down? Ok, I'll shut up and work on my sermon.

My thought is that from the shotgun you can read the defense, find a hole, and have momentum.

It's all comes down to gap integrity and who has the bigger Girardoes.

You were right to be upset but you should have been upset because E V E R Y B O D Y in the stadium knew what play Dan was about to call.

If you need less than a yard under center is the way to go. More than a yard shotgun.

I think that's more the issue than running short yardage out of the shotgun. It gets too predictable.

I don't mind it except when we are inside the 10 yard line

And the defense all come up on the line of scrimmage.
