More customary is Re8 and Bf8 first
14.cxd4
exd4
Opening the e-file for ...Re8. White gets an isolated e-pawn, but black has opened up lines for the white bishops.
15.Nxd4
Re8
16.a4
A problem for black. Pushing b5-b4 would open up the c4 squrae and leave the b-pawn weak. And the b-pawn is hard to defend, so...
16...bxa4
17.bxa4
But now, white gains the open a2-g8 diagonal for the Bc2
17...Rc8
18.Nf5
A beutiful outpost, hitting the isolated d6-pawn and, in some lines, threatening Nxg7

Three attacks upon the white e-pawn

Preferring active development.
