Get under center a lot more, run power (actual drive power), run more as in 40% and both run and pass out of the same formation and finally break tendencies - run when expected to pass and vice versa SOME of the time. Make the defense actually have to guess instead of giving the play away and letting the defense pin its ears back.
I'm not convinced they would, but the Scheme certainly doesn't help. I do like Chase Brown but I don't personally see a guy there who'll be more than somebody who occasionally drops in a big run. I'm really not convinced Zack Moss is a particularly effective RB.
I think Mixon was/could be a tier above the guys we have now, I never believed we were improving at RB. But I don't disagree the lack of respect we give to the importance of a proper run game is helpful.
