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.
Just saying giving up on the running game after the first quarter is not the way to go unless the passing game is really working.

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.
Yes, happens all the time with Offense's starting out slow in the running game and slowly they iron things out and it gets
better. Just saying you don't abandon it completely, having a running game somewhat keeps Defense's honest and they
cannot just pin their ears back and go after the QB all the time.
