That said, I think we tried that recently and got a false start. More rotation of the backs is welcome. I'm not sure that Mixon is 100% and Perine and Evans both seem to contribute interesting wrinkles. If you can establish the running game it opens up play-action of course.

Defensively how about some stunts from our dline, like Mike Zimmer used to do?

we do/did, lined hubbard up at a stand up linebacker position then slanting hard and curling around the slanting tackle as an example. (raiders game). I am not to analyzing the d line yet from the tape to give examples from the titans game but i am sure they are there.

I think the unbalanced line is not fooling anyone anymore. it just means we are lining up and extra guy who cant stay on a block. our problem in the running game right now is that our center cant run block, our right guard cant do either and our tackles are not great at reach blocks for outside runs. translation, we can run to the outside some but not enough to be effective and we cant run up the middle at all unless we run off left guard. Thats why we are able to get about 50-80 yards rushing per game and have a ton of negative run plays.

Just my 2 cents though
