Passing On The Run

I bumped this thread so I didn\'t have to repeat typing the facts stated from my original post. We as a team would like to have a balanced attack on offense as most teams strive for. Is it necessary to establish the run first in order to open up the passing game? This was always old school offensive coordinator thinking. With all of the weapons we have on offense it would seem logical to open the first quarter with high percentage pass plays that would put you in 2nd and short or 3rd and short yardage situations along with some first down strikes. Running the ball would be much easier if the defensive opponent was playing on its heals fearing the pass. Is 2nd and 8 or 3rd and 6 after two succesive running plays any better than 2nd and 10 or 3rd and 10? It seems like our play calling has tried to get the running game going first. I would like to see us work it the other way and then give them a big dose of Deuce. Going against tendacies keeps the defense guessing. Execution rules!
