Off tackle runs with Dalton under center sure.
Once again disagree, it's not about the speed. There have been plenty of power backs to take sweeps and tosses in their NFL career and have success. In order to do it though the blockers have to be set up and oyu have to make a good read on those blocks. the best guys don't just try to make the edge on sweeps, they actually cut it back away from the sideline when the opportunity is there.
Edit: As a side note, even Gio didn't have great success on tosses. We just don't set up the blocks outside well it seems.
