People seem to think we have the capacity to jam the ball down the throats of our opponent and there's nothing that can stop us if Kyle would just try it. Why do people think this? They can't just run the ball 55 times a game and hope everything falls into place. These are not The Hogs, and this isn't 1982. If Kyle adopted that mentality, defenses would simply focus on in it and stuff it out. Then we'd all be bitching about how bone-headedly conservative he is. You've got to have the right mix of running and passing. I think we have that. What we lack are the playmakers.

Agreed. We need to pound the rock, but it shouldn't be run, run, pass every...stinking...drive. Seriously, Kyle might as well flip a coin before calling a play. If heads = run, if tails=pass. (Toss a coin 100 times and record the data. There
will be streaks of consective heads and consecutive tails)
It'll give a better mix than just calling the plays willy-nilly.
