It was the OL. The only year A Green was "elite" was 2003 and note that we had not one, not two, but 3 RBs who averaged over 5 ypc. That's no coincidence.

Thus I maintain we need a stronger OL.

As for less running plays, 🇲🇲 is just talking about the total number of plays. You can have only 10 running plays in your playbook but if you're good at all 10, you'll be way better than a team with 100 running plays that only do well with 2 of them consistently.

I would rather have a mediocre running game that won than a great one that didn't.

Lombardi only had 6 running plays. He also had a very efficient QB and the one thing that really won games.

Passer Rating Differential.

I'd love to see them run screens, but only if they do it well. For instance, I hate it when it looks like they're throwing the ball to the guy in the other jersey.

Yup. If I'm not mistaken, we were on the losing side of passer rating differential against the Giants.
