Our running game sucks too..

It's not the running game's fault. Since we have no threat of going deep, teams can put 8 or 9 in the box and guard against the run AND the pass at the same time.

Thats true but our running game still sucks. Thomas Jones for all I hear about him being a "North/South" runner tries to go outside way too much.

Not to say TJ is a great RB or anything, but you do realize Leon sucked too right? (as a RB, not as a returner)

In fact, these last couple of seasons, every RB we've tried has sucked. They all have one thing in common: they've played behind the same ****ty O-line. No blocking whatsoever. No openings to find. The lack of deep passes shares the blame for that, but even so...

Thank you! No deep threat means everyone cheats up and moves to the LOS on the snap. No secrets here. If you cannot throw it long, why bother having safeties 10 yards deep? Why bother having LBs read and react? Just everyone psuh to the LOS on the snap. What's the difference if he's handing off or dumping off?
