Blame the run game

We have a power line but we keep using concepts that are not best for power personnel (wide zones, lots of shotgun, naked backfields, no FB, etc.). Get under Center, run power (and even drive block sometimes) and prefer left to right and inside the tackle to the edge. Sample especially once he came back from the injury looking (and playing) rather more into strength and power can play FB. Play power ram ball and pass in playaction which will also help the receivers get a bit of separation (and stop the defense from teeing off). 

Did you know only two offenses in the NFL use a FB with any regularity, the Dolphins with Alec Ingold & the 49ers with Kyle Juszczyk, both teams are wide zone stretch teams.
