Regarding the running game importance, I don't think it is so much about the yardage totals that matters most. Although you do want a healthy balance. But what I like to see is a team that CAN run the ball as needed. What I mean is that it is a legit effective weapon when you need to move the chains in short yardage situations, or you're on that 1-yard line and nee to punch the ball in for a score... and in general the opposing defense has to respect that you CAN run anytime effectively. That is a bit different than just stacking a ton of run yards a season. To me it is anyway.
