Honestly I wouldn't think I'd have to explain this: It's easier to run the ball when the defense has fewer defenders in the box. (Do you know what the "box" means in this context? BTW, that's an honest question since you are struggling with a simple concept.) For example, if the Packers lined up with two TEs tight and a FB along with Lacy in the backfield it would be even more difficult than it already was for the Packers OL to run block. The Packers are mostly finesse run blockers so by lining up 3 WRs, there is likely to be fewer defenders in the box and even with backup QBs, the D is less certain any particular play will be a run. I admit that's not deep analysis but that's because it's a simple concept and that pretty much explains it, along with the fact McCarthy wasn't going to re-write the playbook and magically acquire stud run blockers. That's all I've got for you. If you still don't get it...</blockquote>
