For instance, a strong running game doesn’t make your play action passing game any better. Defenses have to play their gaps. If they don’t, all of a sudden you have a guy like Perine running all over your defense.

I disagree, if they don't fear the run then they won't fall for the fake. Why fall for it when they can stop the run with the front 4? We found that out the last couple years I thought. Specifically with no one falling for the play action, and stopping the run on the way to the QB.
