Quote:That offense is getting an overhaul regardless.  I think that 73% shotgun number goes down considerably under Hackett/Marrone. 

 

Doesn't change my stance on Mixon.  He's a good pick at #35 if free agency helps our secondary.  

He's an absolute steal if he's there in the third - but he won't be IMO. 

73% was only barely higher than league avearge, to be fair. It's just a shotgun league now, like it's a base nickel defense league. 

 

I agree it might go down some, especially if we bring in a fullback, but Blake has been a shotgun QB his whole career...even back in college. It would be kinda scary to expect him to make the giant leaps forward he needs while also transitioning to more of an under center offense.
