I'm absolutely serious about running... every team is going to bring the heat when they know we cannot/will not run the football. Not even the best O-Lines can stand up to that kind of stuff and especially not our rag tag line. Why do you think Rodgers is ducking, diving and throwing balls to the other team off his back foot all game?

When Grant was the starting RB, he averaged 17 carries a game.
Jackson got 10, and very well in those carries. Kuhn got 3, and did about okay. That's 13 carries.
We are, and have been, a passing team first. It makes sense considering all the talent we have at receiver and that our QB is our best playmaker.
Running 13 times, and getting more than 100 yards, is about the best we could hope from these guys. It's not that we do not call enough run plays, it is that we fail to execute and then McCarthy decides to become a run first team at the worst time and takes it out of the hands of our best player in Rodgers. It's a blend of bad play calling and terrible execution that results in no points when we get redzone and goal line drives.
