Cards are rushing 5 nearly every play, and their LB's are crowding the LOS.

Play action would have TEs open for 10 yard throws all frigging day.

Have they run any play action at all? I haven't seen it.

Play action is something that Pete Carroll specifically talked about as being important to his offensive philosophy when he first got hired here. They've also been used to a great degree in offense. McVay/Shannahan also use it quite a bit.

I'm betting this is a Waldron thing.

Good points. I didn't think about that or remember it.

2 times they've run play action

2 great successes

Maybe they're keeping it in the back pocket for when it's needed?
