I'm all for using the run when possible (even if it makes me cringe watching Zeke fail to break arm tackles in space and essentially just be a 3 yard battering ram), but it's myopic to overlook the fact that most of the time multiple plays are called and the QB switches to the "correct" one based on the box count or alignment. I would expect that most of the time, when it's not situationally obvious (like trying to kill the clock at the end), the choices are pass and run. So to give credit or blame to the OC ignores the role that the QB has in changing the play. As you can see in the broadcast, Rush isn't merely a "call the play on the wristband and hike the ball" guy.
