Well, other than having him run outside plays. It's pretty obvious that he shouldn't be running designed sweeps and I don't know why Andy doesn't see that.

It's because he would be more well served as a short yardage and change of pace back. He's good if you need 2 yards, bad if it's at least 5 or more yards to the sticks.
