They currently have none of that. The lack of receivers who can consistently make contested catches or who are good at YAC is what renders the Packers run game ineffective. People keep asking for more touches at running back without actually looking at how awful the run game currently is.Against the Jets the Packers ran 11 times for 25 yards on first down; Jones was 6 for 10 and Dillon was 5 for 15. So don't run on first down you say? Against the Commanders the Packers faced 2nd and 10 or longer nine times (they also ran 7 times for 20 yards on first down). Just handing the ball to the running back against a loaded box (with a weak run blocking oline) is a terrific recipe for a $hitty offense.Without the threat of a decent passing game, the running game is awful. Maybe Watson coming back can loosen it up with some deep catches but I'm not crossing my fingers.</blockquote>
