I don't think Linehan has abandoned the run.
We were at 50% run vs. pass against Arizona all the way until we went down 21-10 with 5 min left in the game... You're gonna have to go pass heavy at that point.
I wouldnt call 50-50 "abandoning the run," even if you are playing a backup QB.
In fact it proves my point.... The difference in the game was how fricking bad Weeden was.
That's why Geng is "wrong" to quote his language. Effective passing game mixed with 50% runs will get you wins. Ineffective passing game mixed with 50% runs will get you 21-10 deficits.
Therefore the problem is the passing attack. Unless you think going to the vaunted 75% run play selection offense is a winning plan against the #1 rush defense who takes the added step of putting 9 in the box.
