We need to establish a first quarter offense that will loosen the run defense wall. And it's just my opinion that those 2-3 yard runs for Jones early may not eat up chunks of yards, but they do a lot to help us get moving as a balanced offense.

In this I'm in complete agreement.
In games where we can run the ball we pass more and more as the game goes on.
We buy ourselves "chance tokens" with our running game.
We can go 4 wide on first down, throw it 30 yards down the field, and catch or not still be in position to move the ball. Many here hate the 3rd down runs but Charles can chew up easy yards and often breaks big gains for the conversion.
With Charles there have been a number of times (I'd love to know the stats on this) we were in 3rd and long and ran a draw/trap/toss and still converted.
Long story short I think we need to emphasize the run but when we pass we need to pass greedy. CHUNKS, as Marty would say.
Target Bo, and MO, and (if healthy) McCluster.
