114.1 passer rating

I was talking to my cousin a few days ago and he brought up this formation:

If Dinger could (if he hasn't) draw up some plays from this, and Vince could run it with CJ in the backfield, it could be quite effective. It plays to Vince's strength's out of a traditional shotgun, but raises the efficiency of the run game and run plays as well.

 

I didn't know you got 1 point for each yard passed.

 

A valid point that certainly deserves closer consideration.....and the Titans roster certain seems to be perfectly suited to at least have a handful of plays from this formation. Just as the Dolphins have found a way to incorporate the wildcat into their own offense, I suspect the Titans could likely find similar success with the pistol.

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any NFL team that has ever attempted to incorporate the pistol formation into the offense in any capacity....and while Jeff Fisher and Mike Heimerdinger may be many things, trendsetters they are not. They're not going to put themselves out on a limb unless everyone else has already tried it.

Regardless of whether it worked or not, I would be absolutely blown away if they ever tried anything like this.

 

From the Wiki link (granted it is Wiki so take/grain of salt)...

Once again, granted it was Thigpen and the Chiefs, but it's made its way into the NFL supposedly.

If it gives Vince enough room like the shotgun, I'm all for it. It's supposed to be designed to allow more room, but gets the ball in the QBs hands quicker. It doesn't delay the run game like a full shotgun does where timing is concerned as well. It has the potential to be VY and CJ's bread-and-butter formation.

 

You guys do realize the coaching staff is riding Vince into the 2010 year employed right. So they might just try something new so they'll be getting paid after this season.
