It seemed like Taylor and Turner both were in favor of passing.
I get the sense Pollack wants to run more.
But even with Pollack being the run game coordinator, I wonder if Taylor has override powers to decide whether it will be a run or pass.
Hard telling until we see them in action, but it'll be an interesting storyline to follow. We have Burrow and all these WRs...plus Zac himself is a former QB who has shown a love for throwing.
On the other hand, you have Mixon, who we paid big time money, Pollack who will be coordinating the run game, and you also want to protect Burrow's knee and hold true to the AFCN formula of running (or at least being balanced).
Imo, the dumping of Gio and the talk of getting Mixon involved in the passing game is probably a sign that Zac still heavily favors passing, and they want to justify Mixon's contract in other ways, as they know he won't be taking 300 carries.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
