I've said it before and I'll say it again - there is almost no reason to ever run the ball on 1st down or 2nd and over 5. You are just giving away expected yards and points. Run the ball on those downs when you are up by multiple scores in the second half, yeah sure fine but early in the game pass every time in those situations.
Our short passing game keeps the defense more honest than running the ball up the middle.
