In other words, the new personnel doesn't explain why the runs don't look like the passes.
The team continued to rely on play action into the TN and Philly games without getting any LBs to bite.
Disagree?

I'll agree there are formation issues that need to be acknowledged. The whole "73% Run plays while Sprinkle is in" or whatever the stat was, is just inexcusable.
Regarding the play action late in the season; I can see why they would go that route. We had/have ZERO threats on the outside. Our entire offense practically came down to what AP could give us. As our only legitimate threat (Remember he went 90 yards against the Eagles) it would make sense to try and bait a defense into thinking he was getting the rock.
I think you're right and there's a legitimate case to be made that having Callahan call the run plays while Gruden calls pass plays (With O'Connell's input?) just sort of clogs up the play calling. Too many cooks in the kitchen, so to say.
