For whatever reasons, we absolutely suck at running the ball.   

A huge part of the problem in the running game IMHO is playcalling/not knowing - understanding your players.

4 of Hill's runs were sweeps/pitches to the left outside, all but 1 on first down. Hill does not have the speed, elusiveness, moves to run outside. 4 or 5 of Hill's runs came with Dalton in the shotgun. Again Hill doesn't do well in the shotgun, he's a downhill one cut runner.

Zampese is not an NFL level OC, he's just flips thru the pages and slings something against the wall that he hasn't ran in awhile.

This isn't taking up for a very bad O-line in any way. But a part of the problem is a very sub-par OC.
