And I think you are compicating something simple. A team wants to put a ball game away, they run the ball. Move the sticks, run the clock. Shorten the game? Run the ball.
That has not changed.
The patriot chuck and duck is an extention of their run game, but it tends to go sideways. It takes a load off of the o line. I prefer the Tom Moore play action, down the field in the seams. It works when you can run the ball.
