Do you think we'd be better off if we ran the ball more even if it's pretty ineffective? Teams know we'd like to run it more, but they also know they can stop it.. How angry would we be if we were running it constantly while continuously getting stuffed?
You can't establish a running game if you don't try. If we don't rip off a 7-yard gain, we abandon the run.
Besides, our passing game isn't much better. We're 82nd in passing efficiency. But the numbers don't look bad because we play fast and put it up a bunch of times.
There was no reason to have so few carries in a close game last night.
I agree that we could and probably should have had more carries last night.. But in general, our run game hasn't been effective enough for us to pretend Fisch is just blindly abandoning something that would lead us to victories. 3rd and 2 for example, I'd like to run there, but we're a terrible running team when it's a clear "run" situation. Morris is still not where we need him to be, i feel like he needs to go through his progressions, lots of 2nd and 3rd options being ignored IMO.
