I was looking for a thread on this. The think I found most encouraging on offense was BA's willingness to go to the running game even in the 4th quarter. I honestly thought that Whiz's philosophy was that running was only for the first half.
A bruising running back in the 4th quarter can be very effective against a tired defense and helps with both pass protection and the ability for receivers to get open.
I love that Mendenhall doesn't juke and jive too much. He finds the best hole and then powers through it. Bell did the same thing for the Lions-pushing through the contact for an 2-3 yards per play.
Edit: In fairness to Whiz, its hard to run when ALL of your rb's are injured.
