A strong running game becomes more prevalent when you can count on the defense. It's hard to stick with running the football when you fall behind every game and the defense can't get off the field. I still can't figure out how Gus hasn't gotten anything useful out of this defense since he got here. We're probably competing with the Saints for softest defense in the league. We definitely have the best roster we've had on that side of the ball. Hopefully Gus gets fired despite the extra year on his contract when we continue to lose because of the horrible defense that he is supposed to be an expert on.
