Anyone agree we should use shotgun more?

[CactusCowboy]

I mean, nobody doubts Drew has all the tools when he has time to throw. With Barber looking very good at picking up the blitz. I believe we should have Drew throw out of the pocket more. I would also like to see no huddle now and then just to mix it up a bit.

bledsoe's problems are exaggerated when he has to move backwards with a serioius rush in his face. give him that 3-5 step head start. this is where parcells' old school reliance on play action is a real liability.

Depends on who you want to shoot with it.

j/k

Yes, I do because Bledsoe is slow of foot and our WRs are fast. I'd like to see him set up and ready to strike immediately.

Drew does not throw well when his feet are not set. Not like a Favre or Elway who have big guns but can throw off balance.

Does anyone agree we should use a traditional fullback more?

Errr, wrong question/thread...

but yes to the shotgun

 

[proline]

Yes. I was saying that when the Broncos would go to their "punt block" blitz with 9 men on the line. If Drew could audible to the shotgun, he'd have a half second more to spot one of the receivers going on a slant across the middle with no coverage there. And if it made them call out of their blitz scheme, well then that would be better for us, too.

ABSO-FREAKIN-LUTELY!!!!

Uh-Hum. Why yes, that would be peachy. We need that with this line and it would help burn the blitz every now and again. Hos....nailed it. Bledsoe is a very flat footed passer. His feet need to be planted before he throws. He rarely follows thru. He's not accurate on the run.

Did I say run?
