An interesting, but not novel, idea. Build a straw man, simply to knock it down. Could work. But the real point is ball control. Keep away. Plain and simple. Along with that comes the assumptions that the offense will score when it has the ball and the defense will score when it can. The ratio of passes to runs becomes immaterial as long as ball control is maintained. As long as the offense and defense maintain ball control, all else will fall into place.
