Either way this has to change.

First of all, thanks for all the hard work uploading these vids.
Now, to your question about the lack of carries in the 2nd half -- if you notice, especially in the Tampa Bay game, they have a whole lot of rushing yardage, but not many points. By the 2nd half, time becomes a factor, and if you're not reaching the endzone by running, you have to try to do it passing.
Then you have the typical issue of opposing defenses adjusting their game plans at the half and clamping down on run, making in generally less effective.
