I doubt that we can fix the offense without also fixing the defense. If we don't fix the defense, the offense will be going on the field with the constant pressure to catch up on the scoreboard, and that will affect the offensive play calling, pressure on the QB, everything. Opposing defenses have a much easier time defending when their side is ahead on the scoreboard and they can just pin their ears back and clobber the QB.

This is why you have to shore up your biggest weaknesses, whether they are on offense or on defense. If you neglect a big weakness, such as in our case the run defense, you cripple every aspect of your team. You can't build a great offense without having some defense to support it, and vice versa.
