Then why did our running game suck the last 2+ months of the season? Gronk's injury? The lack of a young Power Back with explosive legs? Thuney hitting the rookie wall? Andrews lacking the size & power to effectively run-block? All of the above? Other?
In my opinion, too much reliance on inside zone runs and not enough dominating power on the OL. That combined with three young, inexperienced interior OL. Also, the system telegraphs run v pass depending on whether Blount or Lewis/White are in the game. Teams can set themselves up for the run if Blount is in the game.
