Any defensive coordinator is worried about two things: a running quarterback and a deep ball. You know, don't get beat deep and don't let the quarterback run, because a big part of your defense can't account for the quarterback as a runner, so he gets a free run.
When its raining the field gets wet, then all of a sudden everyones running slower
Here's a guy who when he runs, he moves faster.
