I don't think they will do a lot of intentional QB runs.

Before you know it we'll have J Fromm under center with this O-line.

Heinicke is a threat to run, meaning he can hold the 'backers and safeties for a split second or two which can lead to open receivers on passing plays or open lanes on running plays.

I wouldn't exclusively go RPO, but I would use it "just enough."
