Article: Saints offense refuses to use play-action, motion like the rest of the NFL

Looking back on some games during the Brees era, I notice that he uses play-action occasionally even when the back immediately starts running a route. This would happen with regularity, even during the games when some here would be complaining about not running the ball enough. Where has the perfunctory play action gone? Even if it freezes a safety or linebacker for a second, that's enough to get separation for some of our speedier wide receivers.
