From the events I've attended I haven't seen the shotgun used...

They have done some of the 11-on-11 stuff from the shotgun but not much since the beginning of TC. Gibbs has stated that they aren't showing nything at these open practices and they are running off a very vanilla playbook.
Perhaps that has something to do with it.
What little we've seen, I don't know any one of the 3 looked more comfortable than the others, but I will say that Patrick made a few nice passes from the shotgun and it did seem to help eliminate some of his 'happy feet'.
The few plays I remember Campbell taking from the shotgun actually often resulted in him rolling out of the pocket and getting down field running the ball. Campbell has been impressive in my eyes. Period. No qualifiers.

I saw Ramsey in the Shotgun position. After the Snap he Rolled right and looked downfield with ease. It looked nice to me, but that was the only time I saw it. I lobbed it over the left sideline and completed a nice pass with it. When I saw that I was HYPED up!

So, everybody but Brunell. Sounds good to me. I remember the last time I saw the shotgun formation being used by Theismann...he wasn't particularly good at it.
Thanks to all responders.

Boss, Have you seen 
ey being used as a TE?
Also, from what you've seen, who will be the short-yardage back?

No... ey has been playing HB.
Now Mike Sellers on the other hand seemed to be lining up at TE a fair bit... not HB.
As I've said in my reports... Broughton has looked great and I'd like to see him be given the chance to be the short yardage back. I don't know if he will, but I haven't seen anything that would deter the Skins from doing so.
But as I also said in my reports, they aren't running but 5-10 running plays in these vanilla open practices.
