Zac and Joe it seems as well don't want to embrace the running game...at all. And I feel that's a giant mistake. I fully understand this is a passing oriented team, and league. And we're going to live and die through Joe Burrow's passing the ball.

Same here, I have always believed that a strong team should run a balanced offense.  Perhaps not strictly 50/50 in the era of big passing, but at least enough to force defenses to respect and be always aware of the threat of a running play.  I don't know what that number might be 30%, 35-40%?  But whatever it is, it has to be enough to demonstrate that they are willing and will run repeatedly with success if they want to.
