This notion that they will approach every opponent with a tons of "power run" has become outdated.  They've shown otherwise multiple times and will continue to do so. 

If Marrone could run the ball down everyone's throat week in and week out, I'm sure he would, but he knows that isn't possible. There were games last season when Fournette had 20 attempts and Blake threw 35 times.  This doesn't jive with your oversimplification.  That's a very balanced offense.

Are we talking about the same team? The team that led the league in rushing attempts and rushing yards last year? Ask any person what the Jags identity is... running. I don't even get the argument that it's not. Are we talking about the same Blake that literally took until late last season to get his first win with over 300 yards? It was always a topic that the team doesn't win when he throws for over 300. Also, the same Blake that just threw for a career high in yards without Fournette twice this season? We never were a passing team and the gameplan was never ever centered around Blake. If anything they'd try to limit his passing attempts. When Fournette plays they force feed him the football. Now that Fournette is out, it is all about Bortles. If you don't understand I do suggest watching Boselli and Prisco talk about it. They break it down easy. It's what the Rams do with Gurley, Chiefs do with Hunt, and Steelers with Bell. They center the gameplan on the QB and mix in the RB. Sometimes the RB gets alot of touches, but I never see those teams force feed the RB like we do when Fournette plays.
