"I think being under center helps a quarterback a lot more with his eyes, being able to catch a snap," he said. "They can have their eyes on the defense and not focus on catching the ball. But there are other advantages of being in the gun where you are already set at 5 yards deep. And with your footwork, they can get set up and they don't have to worry about dropping back, planting their foot and throwing. They are pretty much set already.

I think our guys are used to being in the gun quite a bit, because that's what they did last year.
