Hah.. being slow at work is exactly what got me thinking about starting a dynasty report. I spent a good few days reading through a bunch of threads here... Still have a page or so to catch up on yours. I love your radical conference re-organization angle!
As far as the running game, that whole thing started off as a dry run for more slider testing, but I ended up liking the results and rolling with it. By the 2nd half, I was just spamming pass plays to get a feel for CPU coverages and rush and wasn't really running any coherent game plan... Not that I ever really have that coherent of a game plan to begin with... but you get the idea.
