It is all about when and how often. Also being more creative when and what sets we run out of. I just think Payton has had so much success with the pass and Brees that it is a hard habit to break.

ABSOLUTELY!!! Ding, ding, ding!!! We have a winner!!! :grin:
Yes, when & how is the key. But we don't want to run just for the sake of running the ball. It has to be in a way and at a time that it will be most effective. In recent games I've seen running plays being called when it's most obvious that we are lined up & prepared to run. The fact is that unless we are dominating the line of scrimmage, we still need to bring an element of surprise into our play selection.
