The Run game.

We're 8-2, Dalton has a 104 passer rating, 20 TDs to 5 INTs and people are complaining that we aren't retooling our offense to focus on Hill running for 3 yards per carry.

It's getting cold here in Cincinnati and in the AFCN in general, which makes the passing game a lot harder to make work, and makes the run game a lot more necessary.

Hill will average a lot more than 3 ypc if we give him the ball more with Andy under center and let him get into his rhythm.

The Pats had the most dominant offense of all-time and got beat by the Giants because the Giants knew they were one-dimensional and just brought the world on a pass rush.  Do you really think our offense is better than the '07 Pats?

Jeremy's long run last year...85 yards
Jeremy's long run this year...15 yards

It's because we're not giving him the ball enough to let him kick it into high-gear, and him running from the shotgun doesn't do much because he has to wait until Andy hands him the ball to take off.
