Play action only works when the defense fears your running game and feels the need to bring a safety up to help deal with it. We're not there yet.
Reverses won't work for us, for the same reason. Defenses aren't overplaying what appears to them to be the play side. They're not overplaying us and setting up for us the backside.
Some fans call for more motion. You use motion to read a defense---zone or man to man. It's not a way of gaining some advantage at the point of attack.
Passing more is just passing more. It doesn't set up the run to pass 60% of the time instead of 48%. It's just more passing, and more of the beta that comes with passing.
Is there a current top 25 teams that passes on more than half of its snaps?
West Virginia, I suspect, and Stanford.
Coaches everywhere stubbornly insist on running.
