[QUOTE="Fat Dogs, post: 895038, member: 12450"] [[[100% agree. It’s hard to be one dimensional and win games. Having a good running game greatly increases your odds of success. We could have passed over Dillon and drafted a receiver opposite Adams but look at some of the best WR tandems in the league. Evans/Godwin (Bucs 7-9) No playoffs Beckham/Landry (6-10) no playoffs Allen/Williams (Chargers 5-11) no playoffs Jones/Ridley (7-9) no playoffs The packers need to run. We were the second most pass happy team in the league last year. We only ran the ball 34.2% of the time and went 6-9-1. MLF put more focus on the running game in 2019 and we went 13-3. These are 2019’s run/pass percentages and rankings. As you can see, the leagues 5 most balanced offenses all made the playoffs. ......................run/pass #1 Ravens...57.5%....42.5% #2. 49ers.....51%.......49% #3. Vikings...50.5%....49.5% #4. Titans.....49.8%...50.2% #5. Seahawks.48.2%..51.8% #6. (Non playoff Colts went 7-9) #7. Bills........47.5%....52.5% #8. (Non playoff Raiders went 7-9) #9. Texans 44.8%.......55.2% now here’s where it drops. #14 Eagles #17 Patriots #18 Packers #21 Saints #24 Chiefs The Eagles two leading reception leaders were both tight ends (Ertz 88) And (Goedert 58.) their 3rd leading receiver was a RB (Sanders 50) The patriots were led by (Edelman 100) and a RB (White 72) we all know the packers situation. The saints had Michael Thomas (149) but their next two receivers were a RB and a TE (Kamara 81) (Cook 43) The Chiefs were the most pass happy of all the playoff teams but they were lead by a TE (Kelce 97) My point is that 8 out of the 12 playoff teams were In the top half of the league in the percentage in which they ran the ball. Some would have you believe that the NFL is a passing league and the packers need to draft WR’s high and pass pass pass to be successful but that’s simply not the case. The goal is to invest in the run game and use play action to create mismatches for our RB’s and TE’s. IMO the Packers are building the right way (except for Love.) still hate that pick:)]]] I wrote this in another thread after the draft and You guys are right.
