One of the hottest debates over the last few years has been whether or not you have to run the ball in order to set up play action. Recent studies (and there are plenty of them) have shown that you don’t have to base play action attempts off of how well or how often you run the ball. But of course, there are those who still think the proper way to dial up play action is if you’re running the ball often and with success.
