Our run game just reminds me too much of Spurrier, who only had a couple running plays he would call all game. It was almost as if they are sometimes thrown in their just to show the defense some balance, but the defense often seems to be playing for it.

In fairness, when it's worked, e.g. the Rams, Kyle went back to it & pounded the ball. Also, our wideouts just don't scare anyone, so everyone on D can play closer to the line. I also actually like the reverse, but not twice in a row!
