We Run to set up the pass....

Which is why I'm not worried about this offense. Yes we are out of rhythm, and haven't found the endzone, but have a look at this if you will. in 2008 when we went 12-4 and had the 10th overall offense (19th passing, 3rd rushing). we saw success. because our focus was on running the ball. That is how this offense works:

2008 Pass attempts (246 - 32nd in NFL) Rushing attempts (504 - 6th in NFL).

This preseason were are looking to see what we can get out of the passing game. Of course they would like to score, thats how you win. But I'm pretty sure they know how many plays they are running and how its being distributed between passing and running. We are a running football team, that is how we score, and that is how we win.

2010 preseason Pass attempts- (117- 6th in NFL) Rushing attempts- (70- 24th in NFL)

expect that to change dramatically when the season starts...

The preseason is not indicitave of the regular season but having said that declaring us as a run only or executing as a run only team has it drawbacks.Last year is a perfect example.The fact is you take what the defense gives.If the defense stays with 8 in the box that dictates passing.

    • IMO, there is no one player that instantly makes that an elite defense and my guess is that with the way his contract is structured, he may need a very, very substantial trade capital offer. If that is the case, I just don't think that's a prudent move for a team that is likely to have upper half of the draft picks and extreme roster needs for at least a couple of more offseasons. The Parsons trade made sense for Green Bay because that is a very complete team that needed someone to elevate them as a team. We are far from that situation. There are very few, if any, non-QB's we can add to this roster and expect big results in terms of overall W's/L's.  If he can be had for a reasonable price, I am 1,000,000% in. If it's something that hinders our ability to continue to add cheap talent to the roster, it's a bad idea for where we are in our building phase.
    • He is under contract through 2029 so this is really nothing like Burns. Our clock had run out and he was going to be due a mega-deal and ASKED for a mega deal. They have an elite guy on a longer term deal with a highish AAV but it will be $25-30 mil/year with almost no money guaranteed. It's a mega low risk, mega high reward so his value in a trade is likely to be substantially higher than Burns at the moment we had to trade him.
