Unless you get the NFL to change the rules of the game

Because you need 10 yards to get a first down. When you are getting lots of 1 yards, 2 yards runs and it is 3rd and 7 and you end up punting. You can't run because you don't have the ball or the play opportunities to run.

So what most people don't realize it isn't an option to keep running, unless they can get the NFL league to change the rules on 10 yards in 3 downs.

So the options are:

1) Run it and punt it
2) Pass it, get first downs, and mix in a few runs
