[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 994368, member: 4199"] I put most of that success on Watson's return/emergence. He went off on the Cowboys and suddenly defenses had to worry about deep passes. His mere presence helped the run game. Defenses had to account for him and suddenly, heavy boxes disappear. They had to pick their poison--load up to stop the run and die by the big play or play coverage and let Jones and Dillon carve you up 4-5 yards a time. I want to be clear that I don't dislike running, I just don't believe it is what drove the wins. The increase in runs was a symptom or an effect, not a cause. Having a more-complete offense that gave the defense more than 1 thing to worry about is what allowed the running to become a viable option. In the interest of being funny, call it Fear of Watson. The one oddity in those wins late in the season is the Miami game. By offense, we should not have won that game. We didn't run well, we didn't pass well, though coincidently, Watson played less than 30% of the snaps. While not a smoking gun, I argue this is evidence is evidence that he ended up being the key to our 2022 offense, even if we're not throwing it to him. If not for Tua's concussion, Miami is a loss.
