When teams know you can't run the ball, play action becomes useless, and the passing game stagnant.

To this I'd say scrap the run-first mentality, and let your offense evolve into a pass-first scheme interspersed with running plays. I'm not suggesting a return to the Fun N' Gun or Run-and-shoot or anything. But whatever we're trying to do now certainly isn't working.
Looks to me like we're overloaded with wideouts anyway.
