Might be wrong here but I personally think anybody who thinks we can just ride our RBs is insane. Our line isn't built for that. Anytime we line up in obvious running formation we get hammered. We can't run outside because we don't have the mobility. Where we have the most success is running with 2 or 3 wideouts with limited LBs inside to help. We have been for years a team that passes to set up the run. And I think that many of our issues with getting out to slow starts in recent yards is due to McCarthy's obsession with scripting the first x number of plays for games.
How many times have you seen this happen over the last 5 years to start a game?
Run for 0-2 yards
Run for 0-2 yards
3rd and long, short. Punt. Or, first down and repeat the above, short and punt.
Repeat until down 2-3 scores, until we revert to the offense that's consistently effective for us - Letting Rodgers audible in/out of runs at the line, intermediate passing. Where I do get infuriated at times with Rodgers though is the obsession with the long ball sometimes, though.
