I think I remember reading that both Hogan and Burns were shotgun QBs in high school, so maybe the coaches are wary of center-QB exchange issues.  You'd think that 3+ years as a collegiate QB could have fixed that in practice under tutelage...maybe?  Call me crazy!

If we're running on 55% of our plays and our run game is successful, we should certainly leverage defensive anticipation and look like we're going to run on every down. 

One thing about the shotgun--the QB has to focus on catching the ball before scanning the field, right?  When you take the snap from under center, you get more time to see the defense and your receivers.  Isn't that a tradeoff to leverage sometimes?

I wonder if Burns isn't reading the defenses well enough to get us out of bad situations (underestimating number of pass rushers, coverage schemes, etc.).  Hard to tell from this comfy armchair  :-\
