    The reverse just doesn't work anymore

    Why does anybody still have it in the playbook? I have not seen it work on any level in over 10 years.

    They were moving the call and that totally killed their drive.

    The playbook needs to be diversified with any possible play at any given moment

    It works if you have fast players like Julio Jones.

    It works so poorly now that they don't have a chance to give the ball up twice. Can barely get back to the line of scrimmage.

    The reverse is a drive killer. It works if you want to go backwards. If you want your punter to get some work run the reverse. So maybe that is the reason to keep it in the playbook. Make things interesting, because it damn sure doesn't work.
