I would disagree with that, I think running the ball is still a major part of the team's philosophy (evidenced by Portis being #3 in the NFL in carries this year). It's just they overestimated how strong our offensive line was, and relied on the existing older starters to continue playing at their previous level.

Then our FO failed because they overestimated our own team's line even thou many people thought we needed help on the offensive and defensive lines. IMO our FO gets too excited and fixed on the next big offensive weapon and the 'sexy' picks and we need someone like Parcells to reel them in.
