We don't even try. Good ground attacks keep going back to the well. What doesn't work in the first quarter may produce a long touchdown in the 4th quarter when the defense is winded.
And it is not just the number of runs which lead me to say that we don't try. It is also the variety of plays. We have stretch left and stretch right. That seems to be about it, excluding a brilliant reverse on the second play of the game.
Kyle didn't have a real ground game in Houston, either, but they developed one after he left with much of the same personnel.
In the end, the run may or may not work. But trying to milk a passing game out of Wrecks and Beck has no chance.
