Kyle's pass 1st offense's weekly lament

I feel like the running game will always be a concern with Kyle as the playcaller.
As much as some of us would like he's not Mike Shanahan, this is not a run first team (as the sports media likes to claim).
We're a passing team.

I hope that Kyle will change but he seems to struggle sticking to the run.
Like many pass 1st coaches they can't stomach runs that don't gain X yards early in the game.

The run game was working early and some of the runs were just a nose hair away from hitting.
But, without more attempts the OL and the backs won't gain the rhythm required to hit the 'big' runs.
Without attempts the run game stays vanilla; gone were the inside trap runs (Helu) that worked well against the Cards.

What's more is that a lot of the success in the passing game comes from our playaction.
(I was surprised we didn't boot more because Ware was crashing hard down the line.)

I hope this changes, as the season progresses but I doubt it.
This team should go as the running games goes but I fear it will go as Rex goes.
