A running game doesn't have to mean lining up an Eddie Lacy and pounding the ball. Using Montgomery and Cobb has made our running game more dynamic. Rodgers rushing yards have been killing other teams. While we are still averaging under 100 rushing yards per game (on par with our 2011 season), I think that we are more effective at spreading out the defense to contain our rushing game.The difference between the 2016 and 2011 Packers teams is that we were still trying to rush traditionally in 2011. Good teams will stuff a weak traditional running attack during the playoffs, exposing your one-trick pony offense. Having the diversity of rushing plays that we are employing now should force defenses to use spies and personnel that otherwise would be guarding the middle of the field against passes.</blockquote>
