Cam and the Shotgun formation


Montsta

Recommended Posts

It may be true that he shotgun may not be best suited for play action, however, you can still run successfully from the shotgun. The spread offense by definition spreads out the field, which can actually aid in running the ball. And after all, you can still fake a handoff from the shotgun.

If they stack the box you pass, if they play a more straight-up defense you can still run. And I have the utmost confidence in the talent we have in the running game.

IMO, you gain more than you loose with the shotgun. Your QB has a little more time to scan the field. You can run or pass out of that formation. I like the flexibility the shotgun brings.

Then again, I could be wrong. Just my thoughts, and GOOOOO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I doubt we go spread very much. Our biggest strength right now is our run game so Im gonna suspect we will use that a whole lot. Besides no matter what any one says Cam Newton is not ready to read NFL defenses on every play.

I am under no illusions when it comes to Cam's ability as a starting QB. It will probably be a long arduous process, unfortunately. However, Cam is comfortable in the shotgun, why not keep his comfort level as high as possible?

You can still run from the shotgun with either your RB or your QB, although I would prefer that my QB not run too often. The spread offense is a passing offense first. With that said, Cam is going to have to throw the ball. We will live or die by how quickly he can adapt to the pro level. He doesn't have to be lights out right off the bat, just good enough to keep the defense honest. Every completion makes the running game that much more efficient.

Sounds and looks good in my head. Whether that translates to the field is another matter. After all, this is a time of hope for the coming season. No reason not to think and hope for the best?!

Just my thoughts, and GOOOO CATS!!!!!! (Carolina Panthers)

After 20 years of marriage, I ain't worried about my swag. One persons' "lame", doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things.

Just my thoughts, and GOOOO CATS!!!!!!!!!!

Are you one of those 50+ year old guys that paints their face like a cat and goes "raawwwrrrr!!!" on gameday?

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
