Question about Pass-Play Selection

Betts was not that productive to handle all the carries besides Portis.

I agree that that was a crazy formation, but in the Vikings game last year, with one receiver and no fullback, Ramsey went play action and threw a 40+ yard completion to Jacobs. All the plays are designed to get positive yardage, but sometimes I think the plays are set up to give the next team some game film so that we can trick a safety into biting on the run.
