[QUOTE="spardo62, post: 170003, member: 516"] I am kind of on the fence in this argument. I agree that the passing game is the strength of our offense and with the matchups we have had thus far this year, this has played into the weakness of the opposing defenses. As a result, our gameplans have been pass heavy. I controlled passing game can in many ways take the place of the run, however, it is also much riskier than an effective run game(incompletions stopping the clock, interceptions, etc.) At some point this season, GB will have to establish at least an average running game, as they will face matchups not favorable to heavy passing. They will also find situations where it is prudent to run time off the clock through the ground or need to pound a yard or two on the ground in a critical situation. I do not seeing our running game being above average at any point this year, but hopefully with the young backs maturing and hopefully Morency returning we can feature a more balanced or possibly run heavy attack when situations warrant at some point this season and not be exposed as lacking the tools to pull this off.
