The scheme is more naturally inclined to putting pressure on the pass instead of the run. This makes sense when you consider how the defensive linemen are asked to attack, and in all the weird and complex different packages. Sorry, but lining up Allen Bailey over center with Poe, Hali, and Brandon Flowers off the edges may not be the most conducive package to holding the RB to no gain. It might allow 5 or 6 yards.
The point is it's getting the job done in terms of POINTS. That's where it matters. What you're arguing with this YPC bullshit is meaningless.
It's not like our offense is blowing teams out early so they're forced to abandon the run. We've faced some pretty damn good RBs and run-heavy teams, and the damage on the scoreboard has been minimal.
I'll take that over your defense's supposed superior run-stopping ability. We'll see who gives up 39 points to the Colts and who doesn't.
Hint: It's not us.
