[QUOTE="adambr2, post: 501675, member: 7277"] It's like this every year. We have one crowd that thinks the Packers aren't committed to running the ball. And yet another that hates the predictable run calls followed by incomplete passes. So either way, somebody is upset. They've tried to address the run game. Going into 2011 they thought they had the answer with Starks, and who could've blamed them after the playoffs in 2010? They still took Alex Green in the 3rd. In 2012 they had Green back from injury and they went out and got Benson to try to get the pounder they had been lacking. Now they spent two picks in the 2nd and 4th to land Lacy and Franklin. They've done what they can with the personnel they have. You don't try to overdo and force the run game when you don't have the personnel to do it, particularly when you have the best QB in football. Yes, it is still in their best interest to supplement that pass game with another dimension of offense that they hope Lacy and Franklin can provide. They will try. They were 16th in the NFL, top half in fact, in rushing attempts. It's not like they don't try. It's not in their best interests to be any higher than that. You don't take the ball out of Aaron Rodgers' hands 35 times a game. [/QUOTE]
