As logical by product of pass centered offense is more time and emphasis gets devoted in practice and gameplan to the pass then the run. So, Kirk carrying the offense is imo a major part of the reason the run game was weak.
Anyhow...looking ahead I think the number 1 need for this team is a #1 WR.
A true #1 WR in today' hands free secondary can change an offense. Imo one of the flaws in our passing offense is that Garcon doesn't consistently win nor separate when the play design doesn't do it for him. (Kyle was great at that btw). If the play calls for X to 'win' and gain separation on their on against press or man-under defense Pierre doesn't win often enough. DeSean on the other hand almost always 'wins' 1 on 1s press/man-under, or whatever. But DeSean doesn't run the whole route tree. In breaking routes, between the hashes/numbers isn't DeSean strength.
A WCO with a #1 WR that consistently 'wins' changes everything.
I would also try to create as physically a dominating OL as possible. I believe Jay will stick with run game more if the OL can maul dudes.
Going forward my draft/offseason priorities are:
WRs, CB, 34 DE, Pass Rusher, OG/C, Blocking/Well rounded TE, NT, QB

Well u need to put RB on the list and fairly high.
Initial list
1. strong safety
2. Mauler/large Center
3. ILB (along side Compton)
4. RB
5. CB
6. Run Blocking TE
7 WR
There will be decisions to make with Pot Roast/Hatcher along the DL...it would be no surprise if we go d line first in draft. They are some ballers on the dline in this draft.
