The Facts: Asked this week whether the team may spend 90 percent or more of its time with the center snapping the ball through the air to the quarterback, HC Kliff Kingsbury said, “I’m not sure.” He then elaborated in a way that suggested he is sure. “That’s another thing we’re working through, to see what the best balance for us is,” Kingsbury said. “Last year, Kansas City was 80 percent-plus. They were decent on offense. Pretty good. So, we’ll see. Whatever fits our team best is what we’re going to do.”

Diehards Line: Indeed, Bob McManaman of the Arizona Republic advised his readers the Cardinals are expected to rarely put quarterback Kyler Murray under center. Kingsbury's answer when asked about the advantages and disadvantages of shotgun make that clear: “I’ve never seen disadvantages. Some people say there are. I don’t. Some other people have theories about it, but I think you can do everything just as well from shotgun as you can under center.” Kingsbury sees plenty of advantages to shotgun formation and it's fair to expect him to lean very heavily on it this season.
