Re: Quick Question about Zorn's Offense

and I completely agree that Campbell has not been in shotgun nearly enough...
He did well in it last year when they finally allowed it.
Regardless of what anyone says, his release is still slower than average and the extra half second or so makes a huge difference in his performance.

I'd be curious of what Campbells stats were last year in the shotgun vs not.
And keep in mind, sometimes he was in the gun because it was 3rd and 15.

Re: Quick Question about Zorn's Offense

QUOTE OUT OF International Herald Tribune LINK MATTY POSTED:
"While Zorn wants to use as little of the play clock as possible, Campbell does have more freedom than he did under Gibbs. Audibles are back, although Zorn hopes his play-calling is good enough so that the number of Campbell's change-ups stays in the single digits per game. Campbell also can opt for the shotgun on certain plays. As a former quarterback himself, Zorn realizes the value in having flexibility at the line of scrimmage."

I know I have been wondering why Collins/Brennan used the shotgun so much more than Campbell did, always thought it was Zorn's decision. Does anyone know how much Campbell has used it? I am really curious

I didn't see him use it all in preseason. He used it last year though.
