For whatever reasons, we absolutely suck at running the ball.
One word: predictability. Some teams will even show man coverage and not be worried because they know a run is coming. One minor criticism of Dalton (and it could be what he is allowed to do) is that his checks at the line are almost always to a run. I need to see him know when the defense is dead set against the run (maybe a few more hard counts?) that he can audible to a deep shot.
