Power football and screens anyone?

I am not sure a coked up chicken could run behind the Bengals OL. Hopefully they can do some power running, not holding my breath.

Joe Mixon did some amazing running against the Steelers this year and Pittsburgh’s defense looks a lot like the Rams. Think of Cameron Hayward as analogous to Aaron Donald and TJ Watt as a parallel to Von Miller. Now how did Lou Anarumo scheme against those guys?

Counter plays. Block one way, fake in the same direction, start Mixon that way, then he cuts back against the grain, so to speak, and off he goes. Once the Rams get used to responding sideways then you change it up, directionally block, and run north and south through the A- and B-gaps.

Then you start throwing quick slants and screens. Then run a counter play again. Then take a shot. Be unpredictable.
