Teams are really dangerous when they are like the Colts, Broncos, Packers and so on. With these team if you shut down the run they can still pass on you and if you stop the pass they will run on you.
Look at the Eagles one lose this year, they could not run on the steelers. And the steelers probably knew that, so the steelers figured if they could contain and put pressure on McNabb then they would win by stoping the eagles passing attack.

I dont think I agree with that. Its not as obvious as you might think when Holmes gets the ball. The Chiefs do a great job, as do the ravens, of using the fact that teams think they are going to do something then flip it to the TE, which they both have a great one. We dotn setup anything. We call exactly what you think we are going to call. Ill be watching a Skins game, we'll get the ball first and goal. I KNOW we are going to lineup with no receviers on first and second down and hand the ball off twice. We dotn try anythign fancy, we dont even have a wideout to have some sort of an option out there. Then after two failed attemps I know we are going to try and throw it to a TE, but we still might only have one receiver out. The problem with our passing game is that we never gave brunell more than two options to throw at. If both of them were covered whats he supposed to do. They usually dont even let portis pop out and dump it off for a screen pass to keep the D honest.
