Fake WR screen

I remember Gibbs calling a fake WR screen to Santana Moss in the playoff game at Tampa Bay in '05. Moss took a step forward, then quickly shifted back behind the line of scrimmage to appear as though the pass was coming for him -- this drew in the Buc defender -- then he turned upfield as Brunell lofted a pass to him, but it fell incomplete. I've wondered why with as many flanker screens that we run, that Zorn hasn't called for this at least once.

Then again, I wonder why we don't run more play-action passes. It's one of the many things that makes me realize Zorn is still learning how to call plays.
