Bill Walsh, the architect of the WCO that Andy Reid learned fron Mike Holmgren, LOVED play action pass. Of course, he was a big fan of the "pro-set", 2 flat backs (what he called "Red") with the QB under center.
Very, very rarely did you see Montana in the shotgun, maybe for hail mary passes only, same with Young. I don't think we used the shotgun while Paul Hackett was here, not once.
The shotgun screams "pass" and defenders immediately key on the pass.
Only thing run-fakes off RPO do at this point is give the defense even more time to clamp down on the WRs routes, honestly.
