So how did we figure out how to run the ball after the bye last year, and can't run..

Having a good rushing attack will help reduce the need to pass as often, which should reduce the likelihood of QB getting injured.
Also, if the running game was successful, it'd be helping open up the passing game.

But also, a team with a bad defense is naturally going to have to pass more because they are going to more often be behind in games.

Absolutely. More passes behind a bad offensive line equals more chances for an injury.

And we go empty backfield a lot...which tells teams a pass is coming.

Taylor doesn't seem to care about balance. He calls plays like it's a game of Madden.
