Get them thinking fastball and slip in the change/slider and vice versa. When you advertise you want to run the ball a ton and then you do run the ball a ton you take away some of the surprise element and it makes your offense less effective. It just does. Spare me the macho bullshit that you pound on the defense and wear them down response. You RTGDF boys need to rub one out about running the football.
The balance in yardage I believe is a totally different debate. And you see that happen more so even with run heavy teams. Hitting big pass plays because of teams trying to stop the run. Don't have a problem with that. But most of the people are talking about actually being 50/50 in run vs pass plays. Totally different debate.
