If we do what you're suggesting, how good will it be to face 3rd and 9 every series of downs?

When they hand the ball off on first down, 4net would make it 2nd and 6. When they start trying to mix passing with running to be balanced is when we start seeing the issues. We won't be able to have a balanced offense. It has to be run heavy if we plan on winning any games

I'm mystified how you don't see that they are already doing this. They only deviated from it when they were backed up for 1st and 20 or down by multiple scores. Because throwing the ball is the only way to dig your team out of those holes. 

They are already doing exactly what you are asking.

If any coach went out there and ran it every play - even on third and long - like you suggested earlier  - the coaching staff would be fired the following Monday.

Heck -- they even tried running a screen (basically a run play) twice in those situations and once on 1st and 20 I think they tried a draw up the middle. It would be tough for a team to be more blatantly "run heavy" than this team has been thus far in two games.
