Maybe that's why we've done so poorly...

...over the past few years.

Aaron has always been best when his star running back has been out, and the focus of the game plan has been on his arm.

When Deuce or Ricky were racking up the yards, McCarthy geared the offense around them. Jeff Blake got us to the playoffs with a 7-4 record....Aaron was 3-2 (barely) after Blake got hurt. We won the playoff on Aaron's arm with Ricky out.

Yesterday, Aaron's arm allowed Stecker to gain 100 yd.s. McCarthy should use the pass to open up the run, not visa versa. The running game with Deuce is great, but you make touchdowns and win games with passes, you control the clock with runs. That's exactly what we did last night. That's what we did in our one playoff win. It's a tried and true formula for winning.
