Perhaps teams have made the conscious decision that they would rather have the backside DE or OLB key the bootleg and give Foster/Tate some bigger cutback lanes believeing a 10-yd gallup by the RB is more desirable than a 20-yd pass to AJ crossing against the flow of the play. That sure seems to explain what the Rams were doing. And if any coach has experience defending Kubiak's offense, it's Jeff Fisher.
