After all, the HC's attitude towards the run game (which isn't reflected in the play calling stats: post #47) doesn't miss blocks or inside cuts.

Lol, right. Run focused Jay, you're funny.

You know what I dont get? Why ask me questions when its obvious that you dont give 2 hoots about my response? And really have no interest in any real dialogue?

But since were old friends ill give you a broad strokess answer on how the run game could have been better last year.

1) Commit to the run.
2) Choose a RB and design a scheme based on their strengths and give them the bulk of the carries
3) Change how you block the POA on your base run game if the key personnel can't get it done
4) Be more diverse in types of runs
5) Expand and focus on nickel package run game

No comment about the rest of post huh? Figures.

What should we expect in the run game from the lol, run focused Jay Gruden?

Did you copy and paste this from a write up of one of Phil Simms' pre-game segments?

If only Gruden, McVay, and Callahan would have done 1 through 5.

Gruden is a balanced offensive coach.

Nah, me, Mike S and Bobby Turner had a cram session on how to improve our game.

I know right? You're starting to come around I see. But, don't fret.

Gruden is a balanced offensive coach.

Nah, not really.

And even less so when talking about his philosophy and forte on offense.
Hey man its cool.

The TEs ability to block the edge shouldn't be an issue this year; what should we expect from the run game?

We may not have run well but we had the 11th highest run-to-pass ratio last year.

Team Rushing Play Percentage: 2015 NFL Season

Despite being in the top half of the league in actual rushing attempts (also 11th), our yards per attempt was ranked 29th (3.7 yds/att).

We ran. Not well, but we ran the ball - more so than 21 other teams.

We didn't run well because our offensive players were shocked that our pass focused HC kept calling running plays. I imagine the huddle conversation went something like this:

KC: halfback rush to left on 3
AM; who do I block?
KC: No you are taking the handoff.
AM: huh
PG: 8yd hitch I will be open
KC: Guys its a RUN
AM and PG: HUH?
KC: coach called a run on 3
AM PG: OHH. WOW
KC: OK. on 3

JReed: so who do I hold?

All: break!

Next play:

KC: Okay, that last run didn't work so well, but coach is sticking with it. Jordan, great no-hold but you actually have to block someone and not hold them.
JReed: Damnnnnn. How about I just catch this pass instead?
KC: No, no ... coach is calling another run.
M.Jones: So after I fumble it, you're going to pick it up and throw it deep. Sweet!
KC: NO ... it's a sweep right with the left guard pulling. Who's playing left guard this week?
T.Williams: The crash test dummy propped up against the traffic cone playing center.
KC: Okay. Matt ... just follow Crash Test until he seals the edge.
MJones: Great. I can catch up on some Game of Thrones while I wait for the hole to open.
KC: No no no ... as soon as Crash Test seals the edge, you have to hit the hole hard.
MJones: ohhhhhh ... so, after I make my cut, that's when you are going to make the pass?
DJax: Cool. I am always open deep.

All: Break!
