The running game is certainly a huge problem. If the Bengals can't get it going it will be a huge issue.

If they had someone like Chubb they would be a near lock to make it to the Super Bowl.

I would like to see some Evans and Perine get some carries.

Only 4 games see where we are after 12 if it’s time or not.
I did say he seems to have lost a step, some holes have been there the past couple of games and he hasn’t done enough.
Would like to see some more of Evans to see if we don’t have to use a draft pick.

Starting to hear the Bijan Robinson to Cincinnati talk... and I can't say I hate the idea.

I wouldn't mind drafting a new RB next season and trading Mixon. Mixon is good but if averaging 0.5 yards after contact per attempt this year. That is HORRENDOUS. He has two broken tackles in 82 attempts,is true, then yes time to find our Rock. We already have Perine, we don't need 2.

He could be available. It's not a stretch to think that. A nice nugget about Robinson....he was 4th in creating tackles missed last year with 88. I would think he's the top RB.

That's why you never pay one like we did....

Every game that goes by I get more of the feeling that he's on the downhill part of his career, already.

I still think Mixon can get it going. Perine had the 1 run that went no where. But I'm not saying he shouldn't get more touches. I will say Evans deserves some opportunities especially in the passing game. With the game plan to throw check downs and quick passes I'm a little perplexed why we're not getting him some targets on high percentage throws. I think he flashed enough last year to earn some targets.

2021 - 55 attempts for 246 yards (4.5ypc)
2022 - 11 attempts for 53 yards (4.8ypc)
Mixon:
2020 - 119 attempts for 428 yards (3.6ypc)
2021 - 292 attempts for 1205 yards (4.1ypc)
2022 - 82 attempts for 224 yards. (2.7ypc)

Not sure how much responsibility it actually comes with, but Frank Pollack is Run Game Coordinator.

Can't imagine anyone is trading for Mixon.
He has a base salary of $9.4m next year which means someone would be taking on 1 year of the 8th highest paid RB in the league and he currently has a 2.7ypc.

I know people will say Derrick Henry or Johnathan Taylor are the top running backs but Nick Chubb might be the best pure runner in the NFL... Even he is in a Running Back committee. Bengals need to rotate their running backs better.

pff says Mixon is averaging less than a yard before contact.
that's on the o-line. Frank Pollack isnt doing his job as o-line coach and run game coordinator

Todd Gurley was the same age Mixon is now (26) when he flamed out. I have always been a big Mixon fan, but the people that argued against paying a RB high end money on a 2nd contract were definitely right.
