Willie Snead recently commented on why veteran WRs don't like to play for Ravens OC Greg Roman. Basically, he said Roam is "run game coordinator" with no creativity in the passing game.

Snead played for the saints so a lot of his comments were comparing what Sean Payton would do compared to Roman, and this next comment is what makes this post relative to the Bengals. . .
“A lot more motion, shifting, trying to create matchups. Get those 1-on-1 matchups in space. I know Sean wasn’t big into play-action off the run game but he’ll get into that empty set and go five wide and start throwing different types of concepts at you that make defenses start to bite and here comes a wide-open hole across the middle. That’s gameplan specific."
One of the big criticisms I hear from a lot of fans is that the Bengals don't use enough play action. But what Snead is saying is that it is easier to create mismatches and openings in coverage by using all the receivers in routes instead of wasting the RB on a fake run.
