[QUOTE="digsthepack, post: 173620, member: 209"] I think this is, in part, a conscious decision by MM to be so pass heavy in the early going. Short of the Giants, all of the teams we have faced thus far have a very strong run defense. With young backs and a line that is coming together, why force feed to the opponents' strength? A bonus of this philosophy is that we get our young receivers ample connections, and develop the chemistry with Favre that is needed throughout the season....and the post-season. I believe that we will witness a more concerted effort in the coming weeks to get our running game on track. As trom noted earlier...this is a line that allowed for a 1000 yard runner last year, and they are most certainly better this year. The next 4 - 5 games should be telling. But, personally, I like that MM is not so rigid as to force the run when it is not working...do what is working, take the win, and continue to work on the run game. [/QUOTE]
