No denying that Joe Mixon is a good running back. He has shown that. You also can't deny his energy and what he brings to this team.
That being said, I think Joe is beat up. He has looked slow the past few weeks, really since he took that hit/got injured in the Chargers? game. Am I the only one seeing this? It just looks like he's missing a burst.
With that being said, I think there is an element that this offense is missing - and it's speed. Tee and Tyler are great, and Jamar has proven himself as a downfield guy, but I really think this offense could benefit from a true burner out of the backfield.
We do have Chris Evans, but I'm not sure he has that speed. He ran a 4.56 at the combine - not super great. I hope we invest in a true running back this off-season to take some of the load off of Joe and to open up some plays to take advantage of speed out of the backfield.
