A Return of the Running Game?

Actually, that is not an answer to my question.
And as I've already stated of course there are in game contigencies that effect the in game play to play calls.
But, that is not what I'm talking about in this thread and I think you are well aware of that.

I'm asking about playcalling philosophy or tendency.
And those are not determined solely by in game contingencies.
Teams that have an identity execute their philosophy, passing teams pass and running teams run.
A passing team isn't gonna end up with a balanced pass/run ratio at the end of the season because its not their identity, regardless of the contingencies.

E.g. You can look at the Packers who almost always play with a lead and therefore have ample opportunity to run the ball because of that lead, yet are still unbalanced towards the pass with a 60/40 pass/run ratio.

Or look at the Jaguars who trail often yet still maintain a balanced pass/run ratio at 50/50.

So I ask again, and I'll rephrase for clarity:

If you are creating an offensive gameplan for this season and like Kyle have already established yourself as a pass focused offenisve coordinator (even when you had subpar QBs).

Would adding more talent in the passing game (Griffin+Garcon+Morgan+Nile Paul) cause your offensive gameplans (which are made prior to the actual game) to include more pass plays or less pass plays?
