Quote:Seattle wins by pounding the ball like that. Granted, they incorporate read options that weren't utilized in 1983, but they have won by being a relatively run heavy team. The year SF and Baltimore played in the SB, both teams ran the ball frequently.


As to your second question, you can have a good QB with a run heavy attack. The Steelers had such an identity early in Big Ben's career. The 1990s Cowboys were another team like that, with Aikman and Emmitt Smith and that great run blocking OL. The on stretch where Jeff Fisher actually had any sort of sustained success is when he had a run heavy attack with Steve McNair.
