Is it possible the team thought they had more pieces to get things done that way as opposed to throwing it all over the yard?

I submit that is what they thought, and it paid off well.

"He was asked how many passes he would like to see Bortles throw in a game. 'For me, I like to run the ball every play," Marrone told reporters. "None. Zero. I want to go back to the old way. I want to change the game'."

I think it's purely philosophical. I don't expect much change. If I were to submit anything, it would be that running out of 3 wide sets can be awfully effective too. I'd much rather see a nickelback try to tackle LF a dozen times a game than another linebacker.
