As long as Joe is here, this will never be a run-heavy offense. That doesn't mean it shouldn't be run-capable. Last year when they went on the run, Perine was money picking up tough yards. They need that back. It shouldn't bee expensive to get that caliber of player to run those kinds of plays.
Volson needs replaced by a someone that can pull. The running back depth needs a major upgrade. The scheme needs to give defenses a reason to fear the run. Run until they prove they can stop it.
I pretty much agree. They don't have to be run 1st offense but badly need a run game that forces defenses to respect the run so JB can be the pass QB he is. But as it is we are pretty much still a 1 dimensional offense, pass only out of SG 70% of the time. Other defenses see it, know it and have adjusted to us and are making JB pay for it.
