As much as the three give lip service to wanting to run the ball, their actions belie that lip service.![]()
You can see that in Ingram's running efficiency. 1043 yards in a little over 200 carries for a 5.1 YPC. That's why are 16th in yd/gm while 19th in attempts.
So while logically it makes sense to run the ball, it's not going to happen.
