Run game blocking's importance has diminished, in the pass-happy modern game.

As such, our pass blocking snaps are significantly higher than run blocking and if you average it out, numbers-wise, the pass pro trumped the run blocking.

That's what I meant by the numbers lol.

I gotcha.....but....

Have to disagree. We saw the scheme get switched up last year (last 6 games) and the difference with the run game was astounding. 

Mixon before: 2.9 YPC
Mixon after: 5.0 YPC

Gio before: 3.5 YPC
Gio after: 4.7 YPC

PA coordinated the run game and the run game has been consistently abysmal for over a decade. I don't think it was a coincidence that the scheme was switched, we saw more success, then the guy responsible for the old ways was canned.

This is what I was driving at.  The run game (aside from Hill's rookie campaign) has been rather lacking even when we had talent up front.  When the talent left, it became abysmal.
