If so, I like it and it explains a lot.
Keep it up.

I doubt it's that literal. To me, Haley's statement makes perfect sense. If the whole offense does the dirty work to move the ball, the offense keeps the ball longer. THe more successful drives an offense has, the more chances everyone gets to make plays. Its hard to make a great TD catch, if your drive ends before midfield because someone doesn't make a block to convert a first down.
And, it's a team thing. Bowe's block gives Jamaal Charles a chance to spring free. But, Jamaal Charles might have to pick up a blitz to give Bowe a chance to catch a TD pass. The TD keeps the ground game relevant, and gives Charles more chances at carries...ect.
