In other words, simple run % may not determine the game but may reflect the nature of the game.
I think we need to fix the running game first, and then stay committed to it AFTER we've proven the run game is consistently effective.

Well, certainly a more balance attack in the offense is important...but my motivation is to keep the ball, control the clock and keep our leaky defense on the sideline. I've seen us too many times give the ball back on offense where we throw the ball 3 times in a row without any results...ashame when it happens in the red zone
