And if you're playing a big mauling defense without much sideline to sideline speed in their front 7, I'd sure like to have that guy who can turn the corner on them all game long, and destroy them with screens, pitchouts, draws and delays.

Unless your front line can out muscle their front line. 3rd and 12 or 3rd and 22 are passing situations anyway. The way I see it a power run game you should be in a much better position than 3rd and 12 maybe a 3rd and 1 or a 3rd and 2, much better odds than a cute screen when they know your going to run but can't stop it + their D should get tired much easier having to exert more energy. Win, win in my book. Off of play action Brees kills.
