I'd rather get caught off balance on a run play one out of 15 times than the other way around.
Grant only had 7 yards rushing at the half. Once they get the lead, they run a little more to kill the clock. But they are a pass 1st team, and only run to kill the clock and to keep Ds honest. They use slant plays to pick up short yardage, the way most teams use a run play to put themselves in 3rd and short. We'll probably play a similar D we used against Philly. I loved the look of our nickel and dime package flying around out there against Philly.
