But yes if Chase Brown could break some long runs and Moss some 11 -15 yard runs on first down it would allow the play action to be a damn play action. It’s not really. Teams think pass all the time and the DE’s paying no attention to the fakes in the run game hurts protecting or giving Joe more time. If this offense could ever give Joe decent time we’d win plenty of SB’s.
Yes, I am aware of all this. If we the fans can see it imagine what other Pro scouts, coaches and players can see. And they have a lot more tech and sources than we do. It's why Burrow, Chase and Higgins were successful that first year or so before other teams had a little time to sit and watch and figure out what we did. We aren't a surprise anymore. Makes having a decent run game all the more important.
