What makes any bootleg or rollout work is play action, not reverses. If we ran the ball more effectively, the end would have no choice but to respect it.
As for Walter having a higher success rate than the others, I presume it has to do with more opportunities. Besides, when Walter runs it, the defense has to stop laughing long enough to make the tackle.
If Walter is our best blocking receiver, as I hear told, then it makes less sense to have him running the play instead of blocking in front of it.
