Maybe all coaches do it but Stram would run a successful play until the D stopped it. Then he would run the same play the other direction until they stopped it. We never had to run 51 G-O Reverse the other direction. At the time, conventional wisdom had it that you could not run outside on an NFL team. Pretty much true. So Stram figured ways to get the ball outside. Reverses and flat passes complemented with trap plays kept the Viking D on their heels all day.
