That is probably a bit less than they did  in many games last year. So - for those scrambling to blame Press Taylor for everything, I guess they could lament he calls inside runs a few times more per game than Doug did, LOL.  (it's like the only part of our game working, but, whatever) 

They do have some creative blocking dialed up for the inside stuff at times, but unfortunately it seems to be just one more thing for this offensive line to screw up. ETN has been making lemonade of the blocking lemons he was saddled with.

Just seems like to me, when you got an explosive back like ETN you'd try and get him outside more often

I don't disagree, but you have to consider this 5 or 6 targets each week serve as an extension of the run and are almost always outside. 

So you're looking at 9 or 10 runs inside the tackles - 5 or 6 outside + 5 or 6 targets outside. 
It's not exactly lopsided.

I'd be good with more of those stretch play styled outside zone runs. ETN is good at finding a crease with those.
Although the KC defense shut those down when we tried them, so maybe what you saw Sunday reflected some hesitancy to call them due to the prior week's failure to create creases.
