He says the off-tackle runs have been gouging them all season but the one area they've been consistently strong at is defeating the power run game.
Now it could just be fan perception, I have no idea. But it sure seemed to hold true yesterday. The lanes up the middle just weren't there except for on the Wildcat play. Yet on the rare occasions that Reid ran the ball, that's where he ran it.

I think Reid gave up too quickly, he went 3 straight runs on the 2nd series which they were able to hold us. The ensuing drive we went 3 passes and were held again. at the worst of those two drives, we should at least net 3 points. At the worst.
The offense needs a balanced mix, not streaks of vanilla and chocolate
