I think the idea of 'establishing the run' is outdated and ridiculous.
But I think having it in your toolbox for situational football is a good thing. Maybe that's an injury to your QB or WRs. Maybe it's a late-game bleed the clock situation. Or it's defense specific where they're pulling their safeties back, sticking in Nickel and daring you to run it at them.
But it's so secondary to the passing game that I can't bring myself to give a shit about it. If anything we do to help the running game detracts from our ability to pass the football - don't do that thing.
