This is true. I have been saying for several years now that I felt as if the pendulum was swinging back in the NFL. I mean, the passing game is here to stay so it's never going to be like it was but, the run game is coming back and balance is really the key IMO. I'm not a believer in Dak's abilities to win games in a pass heavy Offense. We have consistently shown that the formula for us to win is in the area of 25 to 30 carries for 125 to 200 yards rushing and 20 to 25 passes for 220 to 250 yards and no TOs. That formula is highly successful for this team. 15 carries for 80 to 100 yards and 30 passes for 300 is not. We are built to wear down opposing Defenses and basically get up on them and take out all the air in the room. Now, if you want to say that we are going to a high octane Offense that throws 35 to 50 times a game, OK, but that means seriously retooling our personnel. It means that you need to rethink the OL, you probably need to go to a two back system, you need to go out and find two significantly better TEs and you need to have a QB who can be a much better passer. Defensively, you need to go to a Defense that can really rush the passer and you need to have DBs who can cover because if you implement a high octane Offense, that means you are going to face teams trying to throw the ball a lot. It means you have to be able to rush the passer and stop completions all over the field. Now, the Defense probably needs to be reworked anyway but we are currently not the team who can bring the heat. That's not how we were built and our current personnel does not fit that style of attacking defense. What it really means is that you now are looking at a lot of changes on both sides of the ball. That's going to cost money, resources and time. We are trying to win now, according to everything we hear so I'm not sure how this really fits.
I think it's a mistake to do this but hey, nobody pays me to think football so...........
