We saw the formula for this offense going forward against the Giants...

And the OL is not good enough to do that either. Our RT is still learning. Our LT isn't the most mobile player in the world.

Defenses know 98% of our running plays are butt-center specials. Easiest play in football to stop.

if you get a 1st down, it doesn't really matter how you got it.

Gore can absolutely break runs for longer than 10 yards. Didn't he have a 10+ yard negated by a penalty against the Giants?

The only real problem is that i doubt we can trust Andy to manage a game involving a running game. When we were dominating the game on offense is was easy for Andy to "play" at running the ball. Will he stick with the run in a close game? Will he keep running the ball even when we get stuffed everyone so often?

I don't trust Andy at all, so maybe someone else can judge better.
