Are the Patriots throwing out of this formation too much?
We saw last year when wind and bad weather affected their game plans of throw throw throw.
Sure the Pats can morph week by week, but if you don't run consistently how can you really get better at it week by week in real live game situations?
I enjoyed watching Ben Jarvis Green Ellis run and am kind of disappointed he's fallen by the waste side.
The positives of the shotgun is that it neutralizes a teams run defense and takes off some of their better nosetackles.
but could this set us up for a bad day if it is extremely windy?
not to mention if teams don't respect the run they will tee off on the pass. I do however like seeing them run the draw out of the shotgun.
I'd like to see a few more runs especially on those end of the game drives to seal the deal.
