And fair, but if that's your opening up the playbook and getting high flying, I think expectations of what a balanced offense in 2015 is are a bit off. 50-50 is actually skewed pretty heavy to the run compared to league norms. Last year the middle of the pack centered around about a 60-40 split.

Maybe I'm lacking to include that some of the receptions will be from the backfield, screens and other quick hit passes. I think ground and pound is also an emphasis on touches to the RB
Mr. WEO Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 I think Rex now understands that in Buffalo (compared to NYJ), he can pretty mcuh say anything and expect the local response to be "yeah, YEAH--THAT'S RIGHT!!".

I think ground and pound is also an emphasis on touches to the RB I'll definitely buy that. Along with behind the line touches for the WRs. Harvin with a lead blocker can be ground and pound on a corner who just got hit in the mouth on a run by McCoy with a guard pulling in front. Just a point I try to post occasionally as I think a lot fall into 50-50 being roughly the norm but it's really heavily skewed due to the rules changes.

It truly has become a passing league, and as you've suggested, the ratio of run/pass has mirrored that and must be reflected in the game plan outlook regardless of the ground and pound title. I love the idea of the quick hit plays, getting our playmakers the ball and having them take care of the rest. I would imagine at leave 5 screen, quick hit or bubbles each game. If you took those into account, it would look more like 31/37
