I can fake it out.
I can drop back.
I can throw it quick.
I can throw it deep.
I can throw it short.
I can fake it left and go outside to the right.
There's everything available.
When I line up in the shotgun, there's...
A smaller option of what I can do.
And it's easier for the defense to figure all that out.
Okay, if I'm in the gun and the back's to my left, am I actually going to hand the ball outside left?
Am I going to hand the ball inside left?
Because that's really hard for a tailback to be to the left of a shotgun quarterback, get the ball, and then get on the right track when it comes to the timing of blocks.
Am I going to fake the ball to the left and then go all the way out to my right?
Again, it's the unlikelihood of.
So I think it shrinks what the defense has to think about.
The second thing is, when I'm under center, I turn my back to you in a play-action fake.
You cannot see the ball.
And the gun, you can't all the time.
There's always, you can always see the football.
