I would hope/expect the OL is better this year with Volson, Karras, and Cappa having much more familiarity with the system and each other, plus the addition of Orlando Brown.
Chase Brown is also (much) faster than Perine, which could/should add more explosiveness.

I’m excited about the addition of Brown and the more familiarity the returning guys will have.

I believe that Chase will be running hard and then Brown and Evans could also surprise some people and I think we’ll be getting the most out of our run plays because the defense will have to respect the run game and not be able to drop everyone into coverage but they also have to worry about Burrow.

Play like the Chiefs: run better, not more.

As I've said before it's not returning to 1975 ram it down their throat with Earl Campbell stuff. It's being able to pick up those 3rd and 2 and 1/2 yards. It's being able to run in the redzone. It's breaking off a few 7 yard + runs in the game. Make the D respect the run.

Exactly.

It’s saying to the defense “we can run the ball and pick up a first down or break off a long or at least give us a second or third-and-short where we make you have to defend the entire width of the field thirty yards down the field.”
