When brady comes back, we'll be a pass 1st.. And a lot of those runs were from delay handoffs from shotgun formation.. Teams were playing the pass..
Exactly so we can pop runs in there to gain yardage and keep the D honest. I don't think this offense is all pass all the time, you need balance to be successful in the NFL, whether it's from the shotgun, a single back look or a more traditional run set. Maroney can really make this offense scary in an "ace" type formation we run lots of if he can stay healthy and be a smarter player. Single back offenses create big match-up problems for defenses. LB's are forced to cover WR's in passing routes and S's are forced to come up and stop the run. We have the quick WR's who run great routes, we have a balanced TE in Watson (we do need one more and Thomas to step as well giving us more options), and we have intelligent OL and oh yeah a QB that can read defenses and make safe throws under pressure. If Maroney can give us the homerun option that Kevin Faulk is not, Faulk is really effective in this offense in his role, by playing smarter football and becoming a more effective blocker he can get more opportunities to get in there and make himself a solid contributor and hopefully a star. He certainly has the athletic ability and shiftiness to be effective in this type of offense and that's why the Pats drafted him.
