If we are prepping for the NFL. Half of our offensive snaps should be from under center.

I really don’t understand why colleges rely so heavily and many times exclusively in a shotgun look.. being under center can open up so many options

Kelly is prevaricating.

Yes. And it is a petty excuse to use on one player.

Its easier to Coach. Its a simple as that. Being under center has its advantages in play calling for sure. But shotgun is easier to teach especially for the QB. Never has to turn his back to the line of scrimmage, easier footwork, etc.

In other words, we aren’t prepping our QBs for the NFL. Why use that excuse for one player but not the team.

66% of the snaps in the nfl were from the shotgun...i am sure teams like Tenn and Pitt are responsible for it not being higher

LMFAO exactly, 25/32 NFL teams ran most of their non red-zone plays from shotgun.

Dumbass OP just doesn’t watch the NFL lol

Lining Perkins up and telling him to go get the ball is not transferable to the NFL. He will have zero experience on the mental aspects of defensive scheme, assignments, and how to play the position of linebacker.

I’m sure he’s a nice kid, but they are teaching him how to play the position he just hasn’t been capable to mentally do it and he’s always out of position.

Kelly can’t call the kid stupid to the public, he obviously isn’t cutting the mustard mentally, which is why he’s out of position.

It’s not the coaching scheme.

Maybe because teaching a guy to be a line backer has nothing to do with how many times the NFL uses the shotgun.

But every team goes under center.

My OP was really about the answer he gave about Perkins at ILB and the lack of creativity in the red zone. I thought it was a cheap answer.

If Kelly's prepping for the NFL, then he would have moved JD5 to slot receiver to at least give the guy a chance.

Just curious, what’s your experience level in this matter? What’s the highest level of football you’ve coached and how many years did you do it?

Only asking because I have a few questions for anyone that’s willing to help me out
