I think running the ball sets up the PASS RUSHERS. The pass rushers will have their heads spinning to play the run or just straight up pass rush. I always hear from commentators "When you can't run the ball, the opposing team can pin their ears back and rush the passer." That's the key to Balance. You need to make even the best pass rushers in the league believe you can attack them both ways, and they'll never know what to do. You want them on their toes and moving side to side rather then going forward. If we can keep this up we can win every game.

I'm sure everyone has brought this up already but we only gave up 1 sack against the Lions... Is that not encouraging? I give credit to the run game.

I am glad to see that MM has left his comfort zone - which gives this team a lot of growing room. Now they just need to get more TDs and things will really take off!

Mhm, and you know we aren't a run first team because we're in shotgun most of the time.

Just a little more along these lines from #12.

3. How does it make your job easier when you have a good running game?

RODGERS: "It makes my job a lot easier, because if you can run it effectively, at some point you're going to get that extra guy down in the box and gives you some one-on-ones outside. When you got one-on-ones with Jordy (Nelson), James (Jones) and Randall (Cobb), you feel pretty good about those matchups. Obviously the big fella is a matchup nightmare for most teams; Jermichael (Finley) is obviously who I'm talking about. We've had three different guys rush for 99 yards or more, that's a great thing. Three different styles. Proud of Eddie (Lacy) and the way he ran last week, obviously proud of James (Starks) when he was in there, the way he ran. And Johnathan (Franklin) made the most of his opportunity. It's going to be important for us to find ways to get those guys the ball. Obviously, like we saw on Sunday, when we get the ball to Randall in space, really good things happen. He's going to continue to be a part of our plan."
