I don't mind running the ball but use your speed and make the other guys fight to make the stop. Running straight ahead headlong into a mass of humanity over and over and over again just makes zero sense. I'm sure in the playbook there are all kinds of holes opening and the play is obviously designed to work, but after 10 attempts at variations on the same thing, you have to hang it up. Jet sweeps and bubble screens aren't necessarily an elixir for this kind of defensive game planning, but it would have been great to see us try a bit more of that and to get the Titans' interior moving laterally more to tire them out if nothing else.
