I'm sure Clay is howling somewhere the opposite, but I put him on ignore a while back so I don't have to read his idiotic drivel but he doesn't actually know much about football and specifically situational football or the chess match strategy of setting up other things. He's definitely more of a checkers man.

Go read the link I posted. Running in fact does not open up play action.
