Shotgun Formation (1 Viewer)

Raider Nation

Devil's Advocate
Back in the 70s, I remember Roger Staubach and the Cowboys being the only team working out of the shotgun regularly. Now, I can't think of a single team off the top of my head which doesn't have some sort of a shotgun package, at least on 3rd down. Washington, maybe? Houston? Miami?

 
Every team in the NFL has a shotgun package but Seattle is by far the team that uses it the least. I think they've lined up in shotgun less than 5 or 10 times all year.

Haven't watched many Seahawks games lately, have you?Since they went to the pass-first offense 6 weeks ago, they use the shotgun package 10-20 times a game. Hasselbeck loves it, Holmgren hates it.

I'm paraphrasing that from an ESPN the Magazine article. It was about 4 weeks ago so things have changed I guess.

Pretty standard for Holmgren...Favre rarely worked out of it when Mike was in GB.

From the NFL.com play by plays:Week 1: 3 timesWeek 2: 1 timeWeek 3: 0 timesWeek 4: 0 timesWeek 5: 0 timesWeek 6: 2 times Week 7: 0 timesWeek 9: 3 timesWeek 10: 14 times (24-0 shutout of San Francisco!)Week 11: 16 timesSo, for the first 9 weeks they only used shotgun formation 9 times, then tripled that number in the next 2 games.
