I read something today that shocked me. Steve Young did not take one snap out of the shotgun in his career. Bill Walsh was all about footwork and timing, and he loved that split back formation. Even Holmgren was reluctant to run shotgun plays until he had Favre to work with. It got me thinking about what happened to that split back formation. What ultimately led to it's demise? As the game evolved, there must have been some disadvantages with running that formation. At the time it was so prolific. How did it lose so much relevance?

I don’t Favre took a shotgun snap until Mike Sherman came along.

Actually, I will confirm from memory, that Sterling Sharpe played two snaps at QB in 1993, in Tampa, from the Shotgun. I don't think you will find one from Favre, though.

yes you did

I like the part where Favre said he wanted to run it cause it looked cool

I wonder who is winning here’s Johnny. Indy style

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Keenan Allen’s stat line today:

Targeted - 20
Receptions - 18
Yards - 215

Pass Attempts - 1
Completions - 1
Yards - 49
Touchdowns - 1

I believe he’s up among the season yardage leaders, too.

And to think I traded him for Jahmyr Gibbs this week in a league I’m WR heavy needing RB help.

I can only imagine what Denver is gonna be like now, after giving up 70.

Payton is calling out his QB1, even before today. It’s gotta be really, really bad.

This has been driving me crazy all year and I finally figured out who Zach Wilson looks like.

Did anyone watch Gotham? He looks like the girl that played young catwoman in Gotham

Broncos - Bears next week pits two teams coming off of losses this week that totaled 111 - 30

Bears sent Fields back out with a possible head injury down 30+ at the end of the game. Guess the coach didn’t appreciate his comments to the press?

Davante ain't got time for losing...

Well, he's gotta schedule some losing time, since he decided to screw the Packers last season, and he was an utter fool to do that.

Can you imagine this Packers team with Adams and getting Watson back soon?

Now Davante's stuck with Garoppolo. The top WR for a more INTs than TDs QB. Lovely.

And his bestie friend Carr just got sacked outta the picture, by the Packers, while playing for another team...

The only way it could get worse is if he had been traded to da Bears, who still suck.

Bronocs lost by 50 points and are favored by about 3 points next week (versus the Bears )

Dolphins won by 50 points and are about 3-point underdogs next week (versus the Bills)

I could re-listen and double check, but it sounded like Adams was pretty directly calling out the coaching for not getting the team prepared to play on the same page and doing things "the right way."

He is not a happy man.

And I do love the guy and like seeing him succeed, but yeah, basically refusing to negotiate with Green Bay before free agency because you were so insulted by their offer the year prior and leaving even when they were willing to give you pretty much the same deal financially does make this a little less sympathetic. A little cumppence/"grass ain't so green over there, huh?" kinda deal

This is wild

to many of our players demanded to be the highest paid players at there position in the league, for some reason those players cared more about the money then keeping the team together, normal I guess these days, being a multi millionaire isn't enough, it's the status of being #1, it's went from being a team guy to being a me guy
