[QUOTE="SpartaChris, post: 315283, member: 1007"] Here's the thing to remember about our running game- We're not a running team. I don't know how to make that any more clear. We're not a running team. Again, we're not a running team. Say it with me: "We're not a running team." Mike McCarthy isn't a run-first coach, and this isn't a run-first offense. As long as our running game can be semi-productive, we're golden. I know we had a hard time running against Atlanta. I still believe that was more a product of a weak O-Line than it was a lack of talent in our backs, but whatever, we had a hard time running. I get it. Other than scheme better, there's nothing we can do about it at this point. And no, we don't need to waste draft picks for DeAngelo Williams or someone else's top feature back. It's pointless in this offense, [B]as we're not a running team[/B]. Question- If we won that game, would people still be whining about our running production? My guess is no. Another question- How different would this game have been had we still had Finley and Grant? BTW, our lack of running production isn't why we lost that game. I seem to recall a crucial fumble in the red zone that cost of points, along with a failure of special teams to make a stop playing crucial roles in our losing the to best team in the NFL. [/QUOTE]
