I know that is not a popular sentiment, but for the last 10 years the team has been in the bottom 1/3 for rushing. Stop with the annual "we're going to be a run first team", "this team is built as a power rushing one" BS and embrace who you are. That or you need to draft different personnel for the line because what you're doing is not working...
The first few seasons, Dalton was sub .500 whenever he threw more than 35 times a games. The last couple years, if I'm remembering right, he's only lost a couple games when he's thrown 40+. I've always wanted to get the ground game going, but maybe you're right. Maybe we should go back to "Hey, we're going to throw it all day. You can't stop all these threats."
Whatever the cure, we need to fix this lost in identity problem we have.
