That sort of scheme, using more athletic, agile OLmen, was perfected and executed to perfection by San Francisco in the latter half of their 'Dynasty" years, as well as Denver in the late 90' and 00s. After years of trying, it's more than evident that Alexander either can't find the right personnel to execute this scheme, or he is not nearly as good at teaching technique as some like to think he is.
You make a great point about our rushing offense's failings in critical short yardage situations. If you ask me, the solution is simple. Bring in straight ahead maulers for the interior 3, and turn them loose. Let your Tackles worry about being athletic and getting downfield, those RBs will find them.
Bring back the Power attack!
Damn rights.
