Does anyone have stats on what percentage of total snaps Rodgers or Brees are in the shot gun? Watching the game yesterday it looks like while the 9ers spend their time teaching the Smiths and Kaepernicks of the world to take snaps from center the more "pro ready" QBs from college seem to have most of their snaps in shot gun! Packers offense looks more run n shoot rather than wco!

It all depends on how fast the blitz is getting there. If the defense is excuting the blitzes well, then you want to get into shotgun more, espsecially vs blitzes from the slot.

Well in the first Packers drive every snap that Rodgers took was from shot gun. So it was not a reaction to the blitz, but part of the game plan. I know NO blitzes a lot, but whenever I watch the Packers Rodgers seems to be more in the shot gun. Also they are often in 3 WR sets.

Maybe they don't have confidence in their OL. I'm sure it was a game plan vs NO more than anything but who knows.

It was probably all agmeplan, they prob expected a high amoutn of blitzing and they got it.

Add that to another thing that pissed me off the past 6 years. [Dumb voice] Hey, they are blitzing and our OL isn't very good George. What should we do, George? Let's run more playaction, George.
