Pretty much, yep.  There is a reason that the team went after OL with specific skill sets in free agency, and then proceeded to draft a mammoth, aggressive, run blocking OG in the draft.

Having a deadly passing attack is great, but not always effective in short yardage on a short field where the route tree is cut in half.  Sometimes you have to be able to line up and run the ball, without the opposing defense looking at you and saying "I wish a MF would..".
