Would A running focus team be a bad thing?

The way i see it is that most of the teams in the NFL are starting to...well.. already have started mainly worrying about the pass threat.   And are structuring their defense as such.  isnt it Tampa that said they are running 3-4 this year?    So lets assume we have D-will and stewart healthy, and they CAN pound the ball,  with two backs doesnt that put us in a position to exploit a flaw in a defense designed soley around the pass.  I mean yeah, on occasion you need to throw, but if we can just find someone to run a decent route and open up things for olsen, I think were golden.   The key is that stewart gets healthy..  playing a team in the 3-4  with two backs like we have is pretty much and automatic 3-4 yard gain every time IMO  I dont think G-Man will ignore OL and WR in the draft so we will def have bodies on the field that can catch.

Balance, smarts (I.e., the ability to adapt to the situation at hand) and exploitation of your opponent's weakness is ideal.  You must have the tools to do it all. But, yes, if a team fails to stop the run, then you keep running right down their throats.

Yes, it will and I believe we will lean heavily on the run game and 2 TE set. We are getting younger at the OL position and Stewart will have a healthy off-season. Stewart is the feature back, Williams for change of pace, & Tolbert for short yardage & goal line.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
