So, to say that needing a balanced offensive attack is BS is completely wrong. I do agree with you that you attack the weakness of the defense, but eventually you're going to have to rely on both the passing and the running aspects of your offense to be most successful.

The reason the Colts can run the ball effectively is twofold:
1) Teams have to respect the pass first with Manning, Harrison, Wayne, and Dallas Clark.
2) The Colts have a very good RB in Addai.
Now that the Skins are showing that they can excel passing the ball, I'm hoping that it will help open the run game. Our backs aren't too shabby either.
