I know it's not the 1980's or 1990's anymore, however Gibbs has won 3 Super Bowls without the shotgun formation...so I don't think it's really needed THAT much. The biggest thing is getting maximum pass protection.

Daseal - Yeah...we definitely need to get a little more aggressive with our offense while maintaining the integerity of this offensive system. Now, since Ramsey is obviously comfortable with the system and hopefully our WR's will be more competent in catching the ball, I think you'll see a vast improvement of the offense. I'm sure there will be a few more wrinkles in the system or maybe the use of plays that were already in the system this past season, but not used very much. Again though, I don't expect a huge change in offensive philosophy this coming season.

I know he won Super Bowls then, but even he said that the game has changed a lot since he last coached with particular reference to the way teams blitz. I think that the shotgun formation might be beneficial to allowing Ramsey to go downfield more.
