Sure, you can run guys wide on longer downs, but on third and short, you either run a sneak or have a guy between the tackles. We've either got to give it to the fullbacks or get Montgomery in the run game on plays where we don't run a sneak. The other guys just aren't big enough.
That's not even it. Toby couldn't have done it without a hole to run through. I really think it's on the OL to blow open holes here. It's not like Toby was seriously tackled or bottled up often at the line of scrimmage and then somehow got to the second level--he was often untouched at the LOS and was fast enough to get to the second level and run through tackles from smaller defenders.
OL execution and strength/leverage. Where's the TWU?
