Agree with Bwillie, run game mostly inconsequential, and most important skill for a RB are YAC and pass blocking.
Couple caveats Mix it in just enough to keep the D line honest, especially draws, but screens can also accomplish this. On 3rd and very short increase your first down odds. |

Even running 10% of the time keeps them honest ENOUGH. Coaches are going to gradually run less and less and less as we see the rules continue to gravitate to the benefit of the QB, WR, and TE.

I'm with ya rabble. I thought maybe this year this o-line would be turning a corner for the better. Meaning finally we get some "blue collar nasty" going in the run game, running at will when needed and punching guys in the mouth pass blocking but it is not to be. Our o-line is just plain soft and not very athletic. If Pat goes on IR it will be their fault for sure. If I'm Andy I am rollin Mahomie out 80% of the time to avoid an injury due to a very soft interior o-line.

Here's the thing about throwing every down. The defense will start to expect it. Then they start to anticipate the snap and just pinning their ears back and coming for the QB. Does that sound like a recipe for success with our current issues?
You need to run the ball effectively for a significant percentage of downs (not 5%, or 10%, or even 15%, but more like 25% at a minimum) or the defense will just come hot on every down. But the key is effectively. Or efficiently, if that makes more sense. Enough to put a good-sized seed of doubt in the minds of the defense and the DC. I don't know how doubt is expressed in analytics, but if you can show me how it does, I'd be a lot more willing to listen. |

No running game means no play action game.
If all you do is drop back pass, the defense will get after you. It makes the OL's pass protection job near impossible. Incompletions also make it easier for the opposing team to control the clock and the game. This isn't a new discovery. The NFL is harder than the Big 12. That's why nobody passes on 80% of their plays and wins consistently. |

I remember back in the 80s-90s when every announcer said you have to "establish the running game". Made a little more sense then, but still way too much running. The wing T was funny. |

Answer. Its by far the most effective way to score. Is it true that completely eliminating run plays in the 1st halves of games would make it more difficult to pass the ball? Sure. To a small degree. But that difference is much less than the productivity & effectiveness forgone by the typical amount of running plays NFL coaches utilize.

I'm just not seeing it. Mccoy sees holes that Damien isn't. And shady is really good playing in cold weather.

But I do have to say, we'll be really happy to have both in Dec and Jan if our oline can just slightly un**** itself.
