This post inspired me to look up the previous best rushing years we've had (in terms of overall rushing yards). The best in the BB era was 2008, the Brady-less year. This year we're on pace to finish about 30 yards less than that year but comfortably the 2nd best season under BB in overall yards, ahead of 2004. The rushing stats may take a hit the next 2 weeks though some tough run D's.
Maybe. Personally, I hope that the Pats will stay committed to the run. They proved they could run it against Miami. The showed too much respect to Baltimore and especially Seattle in terms of abandoning the run, and both teams were later shredded by other teams. I think the Pats' offense is completely different when they commit to run/pass balance.
