I think I did notice the adjustments you made with inside running, which wasn't very effective, even for PIT. The bigger problem, however, was and is outside runs.
Some ideas:
1) defenders don't have proper awareness of the angles they need to take
2) the field might be too wide
3) blockers hold their blocks for too long. Maybe more variance is needed, where are the defenders that, on some plays, beat their blocker and get to the RB? I see some on inside runs, but not on outside runs.
I've noticed that in toss pitch type of plays where the RB lines up more wide he gets stuffed on outside runs as there's always some weird type of delay. When he lines up behind the QB outside rushes are successful.
