Put yourself in Andy's shoes. If a rookie RB says we should have ran the ball more after a loss; how would it make you feel?
Not slamming Andy for his play yesterday, just bringing up a dynamic not mentioned; perhaps, Marvin was standing up for his QB when he dismissed Mixon's comments........
Running more doesn't necessarily mean we'd pass less. The proof is in the game we just watched.
1st half: Dalton passed 18 times while our RB's ran 11 times
2nd half: Dalton passed 12 times while our RB's ran 3 times
A good mix of run and pass often leads to more sustained drives, which gives the QB more chances to throw the ball.
Why would Andy be upset about that?
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
