Time To Utilize Joe Mixon More!


I get that he just came back from surgery to start two weeks ago. Probably the team is being cautious. But when the guy is averaging close to 5 yards a pop, give the man the rock. If we are going to beat a team like Kansas City, or Pittsburg, then we have to wear down their defense, and not the other way around. The best way to keep high scoring offenses out of their rhythm, is to keep them off the field. Can't tell you how angry I was with our not getting him to 15 to 20 carries this last game, when he was having such great success. Might as well have thrown Jeremy Hill in there again like last year, on loan for the week. Our defense was gased again by the end of the game, and it showed that last drive. 5 more runs by Mixon and that time would have not even been on the clock for them to score.Pass protection is so much better when D liinemen have to hesitate or be gashed if it is a run. So how many hand offs would you give Joe this week if you were Bill Lazor?
