Quote:There have been plenty of teams that had success. The 90's early 00's Rams team were unstoppable with it. This team plays much better when they open it up instead of running into a road block every down. Chip Kelly had a really good season with the eagles until he abused his gm duties.

That team also had Marshall Faulk in the backfield and I don't ever recall them having the worst run blocking line in the league.


The Greatest Show on Turf may have incorporated some spread concepts but they were more than capable of running the ball effectively as well.


I've said it before and I'll say it again, this team has to find a way to manufacture a respectable ground game. A wholesale abandonment of the run is simply not a recipe for winning football games long term unless you have a Tom Brady or Drew Brees under center...which we do not.
