Zeke is getting swarmed by three and four defenders on many running plays. That means and they are not all DL. That means other players are not being defended at all.
When Tomlinson was in his prime teams began gang tackling him. He became much less effective. Then they put in the halfback pass and he sometimes had two passing TDs in a game on just a couple of throws.
It puts the defenders on their heels and prevents people gang tackling him. We would be idiotic not to make that an occasional staple in this offense. Two or three passes per game would make a ton of difference in how he is being defended.
