That is completely false. I watched a clinic video with Alex Gibbs when he was with ATL. (Tom Cable was with ATL too at the time.) And the #1 rule of the system is to never take a loss, at least always get positive yards.
I can see how you drew that conclusion though, because of how inconsistent the O-Line has been.
Every Seahawk fan should watch it. If you want to understand the Seahawks running game.

Yes, I watched those too...back in 2006 on DVD. Chop blocks as a consistent technique leads to allt of linemen on the ground. That leads to alot of good and bad things.
Also, if we wanted an marked improvement you could always instill a Holmgren offense. That'd makes things alot better...but the pass game is also loss or big gain.
That is a lot of words to use when all you had to say "I was wrong".
