Nice job on these Joe G.

Been there done that. Airing it out seems like the key to success this season.

Put Chris Evans in or let Perine run the rock. If that fails, I'd abandon the run.

Because he's averaging 3.3ypc. Why can't you stop making stupid threads?

I agree and I've said it all along: LET THE BIG DOG EAT!
I know Mixon runs well from the shotgun, but I think play action is more effective form under center and we need to draw up the linebackers with play-action and go to Hurst more over the middle without Chase. That will also leave Boyd and Higgins single covered.

Just wanted to highlight the cogent part of this whole thing.

Hopefully we get the run game going on Monday night. The Browns have been bad against the run. I'm sure we'll have to throw quite a bit but it may be a good game to get all 3 guys involved in the run game.
RE: Why Can't You Just Believe In Joe Mixon - ezekiel23 - 10-30-2022
I’d like to see Burrow throw the ball 45+ times in Monday night’s game.Run Mixon now and then just to keep them honest.

The lines of yesteryear were more the zone blocking scheme that Mixon excels in. Using screens, RPOs, traps, duos, vanilla gap stuff seems to be working. Maybe mix in some max protect play action and throw him some circle and wheel routes for the big play stuff. I like how they're using the pass game for yards and the run game for red zone points. It's a good look.

The offense has been an abysmal failure this year from under C and you're saying the answer to Chase being out is move the offense back under C?

Because it would be nice to actually win some games.

No kidding

At this point I would shop Mixon in a trade situation. There is really no sense in keeping him since he isn't used much and isn't much of a blocker.

1. Not gonna happen
2. Why would anybody give anything of value?
3. Contract too high

Poor vision
One of the worst in NFL at breaking tackles
Rumors of injury
No speed to get outside
Predictable formations
Safeties will likely not be in cover 2 without Chase
Need more? Ok, we are a passing team. One guy doesn't change that. LET JOE COOK. I know he wants the Browns after going 0-3 against them.

I din't say trade, shop. You never know until you try, I agree but you never know until you try.

Mixon will get his touches and he's a lot better receiver than most realize and the Oline is starting to open some holes for him. They're not going to trade Mixon.. That's just nonsense talk..

Cause he sucks ass. We need to be able to “just run the ball”. I like the fact that we have had success passing the ball to setup the run the past couple weeks.
RE: Why Can't You Just Believe In Joe Mixon - Go Cards - 10-30-2022
We will not be seeing those 2 high safeties with Chase out and running is going to get tougher.
Yet the O-line did him or Burrow no favors early on and now seem to be playing better, so who knows.
RE: Why Can't You Just Believe In Joe Mixon - Garrus - 10-30-2022
Browns have not been good against the run. Now with Chase out, this would be a great game to be able to run the ball. Will we (or can we)? That remains to be seen.
