I agree with you, but it's always tricky to say simply running more leads to more wins. And the fact that we win more when we run more -- could simply be because when you're winning by the second half -- you run out the clock, increasing the numbers of runs. And if you're losing early by a lot or your run game sucks early, you may not call many runs -- and calling more runs in those situations would NOT help you win. In other words, simple run % may not determine the game but may reflect the nature of the game.

I think we need to fix the running game first, and then stay committed to it AFTER we've proven the run game is consistently effective.
