Well you can always start by drafting a running back that doesn't suck.

No but really you need better play from the O-line and better playcalling. You need to run at the right moments, and that might be when least expected.

I agree with the second part of this. Green bay does a great job of masking their intentions on run plays. Except when we run draw plays (which tend to be effective for us) teams pretty much know when we are getting ready to run. Quite frankly, our run game lacks the creativity that our pass game has plain and simple.

I would like to see more 2 back sets in our run game. Combinations with PT/Sproles, Sproles/Robinson, Robinson/PT. Imagine having to worry about sproles and thomas in the backfield on multiple plays. I would also like to see us take advantage of personnel. More run plays out of hurry up would be a good way to strategically create more favorable matchups in the run game.
