Rushing success has no correlation with play action success

Re: Extra defender in the box is worth 1 less yard per carry
I guess that its either because they have a fantastic running game and a terrible passing game, they have a huge lead and they're trying to turtle the game away, or...:
Remember, you allowed to run different plays on defense despite showing a different look. Safeties who are put into the box are allowed to run back and get back into their natural spot just before the snap or after the snap. So an offense might be trying to get into the chess match where they're calling the defense's bluff before they do it.
I'm obviously not a football coach, but when I play Madden (and I assume I would try to do this if I was a real coach too) I try to stay as basic as possible with my formations and the skill position balance. I value fullbacks, try to avoid 4 WR sets, and on defense don't go more than nickel unless its 3rd or 4th and long. Why? I like to disguise my looks. Keeping the personnel as bland as possible let's me get the full value of the surprise, and doesn't tip my hand either way. If you come out with 3-4 WR sets in shotgun, and try to run play-action, you're not fooling anybody. I value fullbacks and runblocking tight ends who can catch the ball, but also set up nice sweeps (although the problems with sweeps is that they take away from selling a good play action). Still, they make the opponent respect the run.
