re: The way-too obvious way to succeed on offense

It doesn't even necessarily have to be play action.... but at least make SOME attempt to fool the defense.

For example, the Saints ran a play yesterday in which Moore flanked wide right, Sproles lined up in the backfield, and on the snap Sproles veered out to the right as though it would be a quick backfield screen to him, while making himself VERY conspicuous.... Brees pump faked to him drawing the lb's and cornerback, and then fired long up the sidelines to a wide open Moore for a big gain. It was a quick developing play for a big gain that really didn't require extraordinary pass protection.

And I thought to myself... THIS team knows how to play modern offense. And I thought back to the day before on how LSU never seems to attempt to outmaneuver the defense, but only to overpower them. It's as though Les thinks it's unmanly to play football in any other way. And then I cried.
