As for the Giants, they once had a balanced run-pass ratio, but have lately turned to the pass at an alarming rate.
The Canadian Football League is even more pass happy than the N.F.L., with a run-pass ratio of 35 to 65, mostly because there is one fewer down.
The Giants' playbook has not been altered, and Coughlin would like to keep the run-pass ratio similar to what it was last season, when the team ran 45.4percentt of the time.
But if the Jets were to get an early lead and stuff Chicago's first few running plays, the Bears' offensive coordinator, Mike Martz, would go back to measuring his run-pass ratio in parts per million.
Despite the attention paid to their passing attack, the Saints strive for balance; their run-pass ratio of 46 percent is inflated by some late-game clock killing, but their first-half game plan against the Cardinals (20 runs, 16 passes before the blowout began) shows they can be multidimensional.
"He wanted more of a balance," Lynch said, adding that after the Patriots lost again in the Super Bowl to the Giants' fearsome pass rush, Bill Belichick is reverting to the more balanced run-pass ratio the team had in its Super Bowl-winning days.
The ratio of passes to runs in the offense was 605 to 395, the second-highest passing ratio in the league, behind only St . Louis whose ratio was 635 to 343.
Lower fuel consumption and lower noise requires the design of higher by-pass ratio engines, and a high by-pass ratio engine in turn requires various turbine stages to drive the high-flow, low-speed fan.
Several authors have suggested the implementation of reheat in high By-Pass Ratio (BPR) aero engines, to improve engine performance.
