Game 1 - 20 attempts Win
Game 2 - 30 attempts Win
Game 3 - 17 attempts Loss
Game 4 - 12 attempts Loss
Game 5 - 37 attempts Win

I know that we didn't have Kamara those first 3 games, but still.

To me, I feel like if we run the ball more than 20 times a game between Kamara and Miller, with a few Taysom sneaks, we will see a lot more wins.

You run more with the lead except stupid Pete forgot we had the lead when Carr got hurt against the Packers.

People have been bagging on Carr (some of it's justified), but not many quarterbacks are good enough to make a pass happy approach work.

Drew could do it but he was special.

They ran the ball and threw to the middle of the field and it made all the difference in the world.

Our defense is good enough to keep games close where we don't have to abandon the run. We need to keep it up.

You can't necessarily control how many run attempts you have. It is more of a by-product of successful and sustained drives. You can only control the percentage at which you call runs vs passes. Calling more pass plays could lead to more success/longer drives and result in more overall runs.
