People here didnt care about the run game because "we have Joe burrow" and all we need is 4ypc. 

well when Burrow is hurt, how you gonna win? You put the offense of Burrow's shoulders. There has never been a healthy balance with this team. And when I say balance, I dont mean equal rushing attempts to pass attempts. I mean having a run game that can be top 15 in YPC when called upon. But it's never been that way here under Joe Burrow. The run game has always been bad and inneficient 

It's honestly been bad and inefficient for over a decade, save for Jeremy Hill's one hit wonder. 

I saw a quote from Callahan that they called 12 run plays out of 25 at Tennessee. So, they did try to be more balanced, they just sucked.
