I'm more excited about Jones, Brown, and even the punter than Iosivas. What am I missing that's making more people post about him?

Expecting not to see the talent for a year or two though. Charlie Jones, Chase Brown and Robbins the Punter should make a
much more immediate impact this year and the next as Tecmo alluded to. Expecting Chuck Sizzle to take over the PR job as a
rookie and be the 4th WR if he outplays Irwin, could happen.

Chase Brown could really get some nice runs early with his vision and that along with his pass pro could help him push for
starting snaps by mid season. Not impressed with Mixon's vision or pass pro at all after last year.

Robbins has crazy hang time and Chrisman was a part of the reason we lost to the Chiefs in the AFCC.

That’s not because of a hurt ankle. That’s mental

He’s a really good pass catcher and when the hole is there is was still really good at squeezing juice out the orange and falling for yards but he did not have the outside game at all.

(05-30-2023, 11:21 PM)Soonerpeace Wrote: I too am confident in Jones making a much bigger impact than most think. I think as a receiver not just returner. I think they are HOPING to go to more 10 personnel ( I know it’s not used much in the NFL but you’d better be athletic to cover) 01 & 00 personnel. Perine was not a threat in a screen to go 40 yards from a burst standpoint. Now he made up for it because he’s hard to tackle. But no way was he the burst like Brown will be. But I see Brown causing issues there.

Solomon Wilcots on Joe Mixon recently on his podcast with Zac Taylor “ I get more questions about Joe Mixon sitting in pubs and coffee houses and I tell Cincinnati Bengal fans he’s a rare find. I talk to other coaches in the league all the time and they are talking about they wish they had him. Zac responded “ he’s so physical and especially when he’s out in space even when these guys take him down they pay the price eventually you see on film they don’t want to do it anymore or he makes them miss. He helps Chase and Tee by wearing those DB’s down. Mixon has just been a really good leader in the clubhouse for us. Talking to coaches before the game they moan about facing him. And we feel like he’s been an efficient back for us too. We love the explosive runs out of the backfield as well but we love his efficiency. And he’s been very effective in the passing game”.

I guess they must have better film access than many on here LOL.
