Play action energizes most quarterbacks in the NFL, and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen needs increased access to easier plays.
Josh Allen is the engine of the Buffalo Bills’ offense and team, as a whole. He is a wholly unique, one-of-one player with remarkable talent.Under former offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, many fans wondered why everything looked so difficult offensively despite the team consistently winning games. Many statistics during Dorsey’s tenure were excellent, which led many in the national media to question Dorsey’s firing.
For the 35 quarterbacks in 2023 who had 50 or more passing attempts without play action AND 50 or more pass attempts with play action, the average improvement in EPA/ATT was 0.176 per attempt better with play action. EPA stands for Expected Points Added, and it’s an advanced stat that basically measures how much closer the offense came to scoring as a result of that play based on factors like down and distance, game time, and field position. To put that 0.
Play action works primarily because it forces linebackers and other run defenders to consider the run before they can attack the pass. While this sounds simplistic, the athletes in the NFL are dynamic enough that a split-second hesitation or a half-step in the wrong direction can be maximized by the opposing offense.
