3. SPREAD / SHOTGUN Advantage Force defense to cover width and depth of field Create more one-on-one situations offering more RAC opportunities See blitz coming or must come from distance Easier to read coverage as spacing makes disguise more difficult QB is separated from LOS so immediate pressure takes longer to get there Depth may allow for better vision Spread may allow for better vision Disadvantage Lose lead back power running game Eyes of QB must be on shotgun snap so he loses ability to read coverage for split second Two open side tackles, no help Defense can always outnumber you so you must have answers for blitz (option, hots, sights) QB must be viable ball carrier Lose downhill lead back play action Lose ability to throw no step quicks 3
