I think the running game is going well. Like you though, I was also thinking that this team needs to run the ball more. However, it looks like through two games they are running it about 42% of the time - which is about middle of the pack as far as run/pass ratios go. Only three teams ran more than they passed last year.
That being said, I think it would go a long way to help the defense if they can figure out a way to effectively run the ball more, and sustain longer drives that way. It's going to be tough this week though, as Buffalo is pretty stingy against the run. They are equally stingy against the pass though, so it's going to require a real nice game plan from Scott Turner.
