The Pistol

Wish they would've ran the offense Hoyer ran. Seemed like everyone was off on offense. Timing and everything

Manziel never really played under center in college maybe that's part of it. Regardless running pistol every series didn't seem to help him.

True, bb... but I had the impression that JM had more success under center. Certainly seemed like his play action while dropping had more impact than his keeps off the read from the Pistol.
Anyway looks like Leg gets the memory award...
After very early, impassioned affair with the pistol, we put it away for the most part except for a little flirting. Usually in situations where we were behind... Dawggie style?

Look ultimately it probably doesn't matter what offense the browns run with JF. Playmakers make plays....whether it's the pistol, read option, I, etc....

They need to work on it more. Just not enough reps changing the offense to something completely different. I think they will be better this week.
Wow way to go out on a limb

I think it is a great way to get Manziel murdered.

It's also a good way to put interior lineman on IR.

I can send you a PM with my PayPal addy...
This past week, as you are likely now aware, our Pistol count was:
Week 15 22/42 vs. CIN ... Even added a "Full-House" pistol.
Also ran 2 in IND's 2nd half for a total of 4/64.
And Ever... I saw a grand total of 2 read-options vs. CIN.
The first JM kept after a gross misread, and the DE buried him.
The second was a near disaster as West bobbled the ball on his way to an 8-yard gain.
A few other Pistols had Read-option looks, but weren't. They were either predetermined hand-offs or PAP calls.

Wow! Big difference.....
So, ima guess this is an attempt to "utilize" JFF's special skills? As opposed to asking him to perform more like a prototype pocket QB?
I know Ive heard many say we should adopt a special offensive system that highlights his strengths and all....but now maybe they're saying "why did we change things up for Johnny?"....I dunno...
So, this week do we go back to the Hoyer style offense and not use JFF's skills?....or do we stick with the JFF's Special offense and put him(and the team) in a difficult position because it's not what Hoyer had??

Except IND and CIN were home games...
The pistol has been neck and neck with the I as our least effective set all year. It's high use rate had to contribute to our poor showing vs. CIN. It certainly did nothing to showcase JM's skills, which is the only plausible reason to use it.
The Pistol is a significantly weaker platform for play-action and it absolutely eliminates bootlegs. Both have been staples of this offense all year. Sprinkle it in? Sure. Feature it? No....

It was pretty clear that Cinci decided to force the pass by being 100% committed to stopping the run. Pretty much saying to us "if your gonna beat us, JFF and the passing game are the only way.....""
I wonder if this was charted and planned...or was shanny reacting, rather than attempting to dictate....
Was the Pistol equal through the game, or did the reps "increase" or "decrease" as the game went on?....any notable in game adjustments in terms of that?

Pretty much what everybody was saying teams were doing to Hoyer then?
I don't understand running so many pistol sets in the game, non-adaptable game planning by shanahan. Maybe the coaches saw something on tape that they thought they could exploit cincy with.
Regardless, the fact the offense wasn't working should have provoked shanahan to make some changes - but it didn't.

Now to bizness... I am very close to offering subscriptions...
1st Half
S1: 3 plays ... no pistols
S2: 3 plays ... 2 power pistols
S3: 5 plays ... 2 pistols and 2 power pistols
S4: 3 plays ... no pistols
S5:11 plays ... 6 pistols
2nd Half
S6: 3 plays ... 3 pistols
S7: 3 plays ... 3 pistols
S8: 7 plays ... 3 pistols
S9: 3 plays ... no pistols
S10:1 plays ... nada pistol
JM was under center only 4 times the entire game: 2 I's, 1 power I, and one SingleBack.
I feel pretty safe in saying that SB has been our most productive formation this year...
... but if you ask for the data I will cut you off.

LOL.. the "cut off" was a joke... just being sure.
I thought The Pistol and the read option were going to be significant in the CIN game. But once the read-option falls to the wayside, I no longer see enough advantage in the Pistol to make any OC stick with it.
Late in the game everything that was not a Pistol was a Shotgun formation.
