One of the most valuable aspects ofthe gun offense is the ability to get yourquarterback involved.

Getting the QB involved in the rungame will help to open up differentaspects of your pass game.

Quarterback Iso vs. 3-3 Stack

From an Even set under center, you couldn’t run the Iso withoutmotioning a slot. From the gun, you the defense has to accountfor two backs in the backfield, and still account for four wides.Versus the 30 stack, you can run QB Iso.
