Put 9 guys on the line, split out AJ to draw two defenders, and direct snap to Mixon. Or since Hewitt is back use him as a lead blocker.

Also, if you're having trouble running, screens can be the next best thing. Basically you're talking about a high percentage quick pass with blockers. Sometimes you make a bunch of yards sometimes you don't but if your oline isn't blocking well on those runs up the middle it is certainly a way to mix things up.

Jaguars do run a lot of man to man, but they're also quick. The speed they have reminds me of Pittsburgh (I think they're quicker). I think they play with the same level of intensity, but will win far more in the trenches. I don't think screens will be effective (they weren't against Pittsburgh).
