I think one issue with the running game is with Matt Jones being your typical young RB with speed, he is not patient enough and often wants to get somewhere before blocks are setup. Gruden eluded to this a few games back and noted how he is improving on this matter as the season is hitting it's final month.

While his game against Chicago wasn't great, I did see some improvement by him, especially in the "toughness" category as not only did he flash some speed but he also straight up bull-rushed defenders on some rushes that led to an extra 2-3 yards. That final rush that sealed the game with the 1st down? It put a huge smile on my face.
