Lot's of fans keep claiming that all you have to do to make a bad running game better is to run more. But I have never seen any evidence to back up this claim. There should be some stats somewhere showing that teams with really bad run games can get better just by running more.
When I see a team with a weak running game it is usually just as bad in the 4th quarter than as in the first.
Yes, this is right. Sometimes if you run more, you rip off a chunk run that can make the numbers look better. However, if your running game is bad, then it is just bad. There is no "establishing" the run game. It either works, or does not. However, there are games where the running starts off slow and finds its way later on which people will use to back up their idea but that is just one of the many game flows that exists.
