They go hand in hand.I'm more worried about staying committed to the run rather than the actual production of our running game. I'm confident that our OL can get 4.2ish YPC out of just about any RB going up against 7 man boxes, not an amazing number by any means but it's enough to maintain a balanced offense and keep drives on schedule. We just have to be willing to stick with the run for 25 or so carries per game in that case.
Then if teams want to drop 8 down into the box Romo will pick them apart the way he did the Eagles in Philly last year.
Part of me definitely yearns for an elite talent at RB before Romo is done though because that's the last piece to what could be a legendary offense.
If the run is not productive, you better bet your ass that Garrett and Linehan bail on that shit with the quickness.
