He doesn't have to be a one man wrecking crew. He's running behind a pro bowl line and fullback.
I'm not saying the team can get by with no passing game, but I don't have a problem leaning on what works when the passing game is struggling either. Sometimes it doesn't matter if your opponent knows what you're doing, because your playes are good enough to execute the play regardless.
We have one of the great running games in recent football history. Using that as a crutch to help Solari through his OC growing pains sounds like a smart idea to me. People are so enamored with this ridiculous martyball bullshit that they think a run heavy offense is automatic failure. Wonder what the 73% run Steelers think of that.
