Run game improves w/o Deuce?

First off, I'm not a Deuce basher, I feel he is in a slump and is further handicapped by an OC who insists on running right into 8-man fronts without a FB, and who has no idea how to effectively stop defenses from stacking the line.

But with Deuce out I think we'll see less 8-man fronts. I think it might result in a more balanced run/pass offense. That is unless McCarthy insist on throwing against nickle/dime packages all day. And I certainly don't rule that out.

What do you think?
