LOL.. no matter the term.. some things cannot be avoided.

It's not really about establishing the run first, its more about establishing the run period. I think its just easier to establish the run earlier rather than later because earlier the clock isn't so much a factor and when your down and your trying to establish the run after lets say, half time the time is a factor and you tend to fall on the pass because not only does it usually make for a bigger yardage gain if there is an incomplete pass it kills the clock.

My opinion is this: With the Packers WR's, (and AR as QB) you know that defenses will key on stopping the pass. If you can mix it up and gain yards on the ground, defenses can't just pin their ears back and go after your passing game.
It opens up the passing game that much more.
Thus, the "need" to be able to gash them with the run.

There is no need to do anything. All that stuff is mental masturbation at best.

You do what you do best and/or exploit what the D can't defend.

Always pass first. The QB is the most important player and should be used as early an often as possible.

under the current NFL rules it is not far from the truth. However if you want to qb to be standing at the end of the game you need a fair amount of runs (not qb scrambles.) as well. The more successful the runs are the better the passing game will be.
