I would like to see more under center and a little more running. Trying to get roughly even between the two is an awful idea, frankly. Somewhere in the realm of 60/40 pass/run is the sweet spot for this type of offense. Cincinnati has mixed in a lot of RPOs this season. I like the attempt to generate conflict but I would like to see more playaction than RPOs. I really liked some of the plays we saw on Thursday where Mixon was receiving. That's a great way to get more value out of him.
The rush offense struggles partially due to the backs we have. None of the guys we have are able to break tackles very well, so they aren't going to get you much extra yardage. Still, switching up the looks and being able to attack the edges better would help, I think.
