"Running the clock via passing and via running isn't the same. Running implies a better probability of the clock not stopping due to incomplete passes or catching and getting out of bounds (either by getting tackled or pushed, or running out of room). "
Just to clarify my position...... I agree with the above statement, when discussing running out the "game clock" in order to salt away a game.
What I disagree with is this notion that you "have" to be able to run 1. To be a good team. 2. As the mantra goes "so that your D gets enough rest" 3. That it's the O's responsibility to keep the D rested, (IMO it's the D's job to keep the D rested) .
There are many ways to skin a cat as the saying goes--- but whatever way you pick-- you have to do it right------Execution.
