What is up with our passing game?

I'll be a pessimist and say that until a few months ago multiple teams had the idea that Trent Richardson just needed more more more more more touches to get back into year 1 form, and well...

I think we should try to force it, but only in the right circumstance like you pointed out. I don't think it has to be a 2 score lead. Any lead early in the game will do. We can't say it wont work because we haven't tried it. I just truly think we could demoralize and wear down a defense early in the game with Hill provided we approach it correctly. I want to see us run it 3 times in a row. We haven't done that all season and it's not that unreasonable (especially with someone like Hill). We all know that for power running to succeed it takes a certain type of mindset from the team and I'm sure you can concede we haven't fostered that mindset this year.
