outside veer from the "I"

We have switched from the split back veer to the I formation. A play we are having trouble with is the outside veer. I know the play will not look or time up exactly the same as it will from split backs. We are having our fulback take a cross over step towards the inside leg of the playside tackle. The step is almost the same as belly. This has helped. My biggest question is with the QB. In split backs we teach him to run down the line extending the ball. There is almost no ride. Doing this out of the "I" our QB almost gets to the mesh point too quickly. We just got back from a team camp and got it going much better by the end of the camp. Any other suggestions to running this play better?
