Unless something changes drastically, the passing game will have to make this offense go for the remainder of this season. Period. I wish it wasn't so, but the running game has just been too inconsistent and often at times lousy. The injured O-lineman aren't coming back this season and we have a big enough sample size from the guys who are there to see that it isn't working. I hope they make me look like an a-hole for the final month of the season though.
Matt Jones has been an asset in the passing/screen game but he is still finding his way behind the line of scrimmage. I actually think Thompson should be getting more looks/snaps as he is also a burner, but has seemed to have more success. I do see why you still have to hand the ball off to Jones some though, because if you don't, then anytime he enters the game teams will be shifting coverage towards him to blow up any possible screen attempt.
