I disagree. KS completely ignores when the running game gets on a roll and the offense is feeling it, and dominating. He consistently goes away from it even when we're dominating. Both Chubb and Hunt have been perplexed at times on the sidelines, when they have the juice flowing and supreme confidence KS reverts to some bullshit passing play that usually fails in clutch drives.
That's the whole reason I'm making a point about it. It's happened over multiple seasons, and it's a part of Stefanski's DNA.
His style will be well suited for Watson. His style is lacking when we should be relying on the most dominant aspect of our offensive talent base, which is currently the run game. KS doesn't know how to step on the throat of an opponent when they're on their heels, he lets them off the hook by going to a weaker aspect of our offense. He did it with Mayfield and he does it with Brissett.
I know you hate the data, but when it comes to amount of running, we're near the top of the NFL every single year.
Fans have this mindset that running is the default, and the independent variable. It is not. Every aspect of the offense is intertwined and dependent on the others.
We are, by far, the best running team in the NFL--and a large part of that is because of our play calling mix. If teams can expect the run and load up against it, it won't be as successful.
You have to pass to set up successful run plays--and we do that very, very well.
