That would know. He said they are worried about the DE in running RPO’s. Not from a success but from protecting Joe. You can slice and dice it from there. Didn’t go into detail.
I understand what you're saying from the little I've read in this thread. At least from the college game, the DE is a big part. Ohio State has/had the same issues regarding their run game with both Stroud for two years and last years QB that simply would never run the ball themselves and, more importantly, rarely would tuck/pull the ball back out and sprint out to make plays. When it looked like a run play it was almost always. It allowed the backside DE to rarely have to play on his heels and simply allowed another defender into the box.
