QB's and WR's are so protected now that you're really incentivized to be a passing offense.

Also Offensive Lineman want to play in the NFL.
If you're an Offensive Tackle you better learn to pass protect.
Anyone can run block.

And this is certainly part of the issue.

Fans don't want to watch smash mouth defensive/field position football anymore... They want all this acrobatic stuff from wideouts and they want to watch people play in space.

And what is funny... most fans wouldn't mind their OWN team playing that way... as long as they won.

But they aren't willing to watch games between other teams that play that way.

Teams who. A constantly gain three or four yards on the ground will be at an advantage. The problem is even if attempting a long grind it out type of drive, you have to be nearly flawless as far as completing your tasks on offense. It’s much harder to do when going against a fast defense who flies to the ball to stop the run
