Agree, great post.

Did someone already do an in-depth analysis on why our running game sucks? Callahan is supposed to be a O-line / run game guru, and everyone says the O-line is "one of the best" and we have two pro-bowlers --- but they only seem to pass-block well. I know Kelley isn't Elliott, but we're only 14th in rushing and they rarely create big holes. Kelley seems to have to make guys miss in the backfield & we seem like we're routinely 2nd and 8 or worse after running. I feel like our redzone ineffectiveness is likely partly due to a poor run game, and all the attempted fade routes in redzone are likely due to lack of confidence in run game. Aside from the Mack Brown long run and 1-2 runs from Thompson, all we had was Kelley 19 of 76 for 4 yard average against Chicago..
