When I say passing league I'm saying its a league that encourages passes with how they call games. I'd love to go back to 2016 and 2014. But it seems like the league doesn't allow that type of play anymore.
I hear you. And there are a lot of people that agree with you.
I am in the minority voice that would say running the ball is necessary— and it’s not just about “running the ball” (pure yardage)— it’s about offensive balance, keeping defenses honest, controlling the clock (TOP), wearing down defensive fronts, imposing your will (identity, grit, toughness), short yardage/goal-line execution, and having the ability to grind out 4th quarter wins and choke opponents out by limiting their possessions.
We should get back to that style— and it will greatly benefit our passing attack— the way it did in 2016.
