If you keep pounding, if you stay balanced between running and passing, those two yard runs become 4, 5, 10 yards. The pass rushers have to honor their run responsibilities first, which slows the pass rush. It opens up play-action in the passing game.
But it takes patience. It takes will.
Yes, we have Mahomes, yes, he's a generational talent, but it's still football. We have OT's that struggle with speed rushers. Best way to negate a speed rusher? Run right at 'em.

I have NO issue with us running the ball more - hell, I've called for it numerous times. The problem I have is with the who (is running the ball) and the with the what (plays we are running).
