Running the ball controls the game. It controls the clock. It keeps the other team's O on the bench. It wears out the other team's D. It takes the heart out of the other team's D. I fu cking hurts the other team.



Saying you want to run the ball is very different than saying you want to run it at a 65/35 split.

Obviously, you need to be able to run it to work the play action. You do not have to run it 65% of the time.

Hilarious. I'm probably older than you.

Nevertheless, taking a stance that an opinion that an offense should be more balanced than 65/35 is crazy says a lot about your knowledge.

I'm willing to say that I don't want to run the ball 65% of the time. You can disagree if you want.

8 of this year's top 25 offenses had a 60/40 split or higher (either run or pass favored).



How many had a 65% split? Not many.

55% is pretty reasonable and about where I would want it.
