Ask yourselves the obvious question: Why doesn't anyone run a pure run & shoot these days?
Because it's a one trick pony. You don't have a FB or TE, and defenses learned how to play it by putting 6-7 men in coverage and key on what the RB is doing when the ball snaps. It immediately gives away if the play is a run or pass.
The R&S is unable to control the clock, and that, as much as the defensive meltdown (prevent!
BOO!), was what gave up that 32 point lead in Buffalo.
It was fun to watch, and I think it could be a viable package as part of an offense's weapons. But as a pure offensive scheme, I don't think it'll ever reappear in the NFL again.
Two things I hope I never see in Houston again: the R&S and the prevent D.
