Another excellent piece from Pocket Doppler talking about the back shoulder pass that GB used with so much success in 2011

Need Finley, Quarless, Lacy, and Franklin to take teams out of 2 shells and the back-shoulder is back. #1 reason for the decline last year IMO was more cover 2.

..exactly. I don't know how much more evidence people need before they realize that teams are playing "pass" on nearly every down vs. us. Defending our deep passes & back shoulder throws leaves them vulnerable to the run. Until we can run well enough to get them out of these defenses, we are not going to see the pass proficiency that we did in 2011 (probably never going to see that again anyways). MM realizes this & every offensive move made since the season ended points to him trying to improve the run game.
