More importantly, this also might be the opportunity Joe and the offense need to air it out more and finally get it clicking on all cylinders on offense.
Don't get me wrong, I'd rather Mixon be playing - but maybe it's time to lean on the passing attack regardless and open up the flood gates. Let's see what the boys got. I truly think that's this teams offensive identity.
Maybe that's just a terrible take, but I really think the pass game can pick up the slack and "break out" this week (like the second half vs the Jags)...we will find out anyway.
I think we're still very dangerous, but a little less dangerous wo Mixon. I love that Mixon's dual-threat presence doesn't give any extra indication to the play call. Mixon is one of my favorite backs in the league, but I still think we have a good shot at a win.
