Even when you've run the same play repeatedly. So much can happen that's positive, and negative. You can never be totally certain which. But one thing remains constant. Your offensive team needs to be super disciplined if you intend relying on a running game. You can make up the 5, 10, or 15 yards from a penalty through the air, but it takes a hurculean effort to gain something like 25 yards on 3 downs, with runs, when they know that's what you intend trying to do. The running game is not a chunk yardage game, it's a grind it out game of 5-6 yards, if you're good at it, each pop. Penalties, and bad plays stop drives very quickly.No matter what, this team will not be able to rely on the run. If they hit close to 48% running plays in a game, I'll be surprised.But, I'm guessing here. They can't allow the opposition to shut down their running game.</blockquote>
