Falcons: Running The Ball

[RnB]

Pat Y put up a stat that may give you some idea of what running the ball does for our team. I normally won't bump old topics like this, but I feel like you simply don't understand how much of an impact those 2-3 yard running plays have. Hopefully this will help you see how important running the ball is. Continuing to run the ball, even if you only get a couple yards, forces the defense to adjust. Not just on deep routes; their playcalling and scheme are heavily affected by what they see on the field.

"Against San Diego, Ryan completed all seven pass attempts of play action for 67 yards and a touchdown."
