Read Option out of Shotgun vs Pistol



From what I have seen Pryor has been much more successful when running the read option with McFadden/Jennings/Reese out of the true shotgun formation rather than the pistol, but seem to use it a lot less. The 93 yard run against the Steelers seems to be one of the many successful plays from the shotgun but was the only time they ran it, running out of the pistol most of the rest of the game. Do any of you fellow Raiders fans out there know why this is?
