They may have reacted that way...but they're not good at it:

"Yards Per Carry by Formation in the NFL this year:

Shotgun: 4.82
Singleback: 3.88
Pistol: 3.86
I-Form: 3.82
Wildcat: 2.56
Jumbo: 1.34"

"Yards Per Carry by Formation in the Red Zone this year:

Shotgun: 3.95
I-Form: 3.13
Singleback: 2.89

Isn't there a lot of situation bias in these numbers though? For instance, I would expect Jumbo to show up mostly when you only need a yard, or, more directly, are one yard from the end zone. You aren't going to get any 20 yard plays to move the average up.
