Answer Caesar
I liked the answer to this question for Pete Carroll so much, I used it my notes in Friday's paper.
Q: I noticed in the past two games that the offense has started using the shotgun formation with some frequency this year for the first time in recent memory (at least compared to past seasons). This never seemed to happen with Carson or Matt and only very, very rarely with John-David.
Why were we reluctant to use the shotgun with previous offenses (or QBs), and what's prompted the change with this one?
A: "We were influenced by conversations with (Matt) Leinart and Carson (Palmer). They both liked it. We're doing it a little bit more. We're using it in obvious passing situations.
We like to use it practice more too because our defense sees it a lot from opponents. But we're never going to do a lot of it."
