Mixon can take it to the house. If teams play man for man Mixon is going to have some huge runs. If they play zone if Burrow has time he’ll kill teams. I don’t think fans realize how our poor running has effected us in rhythm for the offense. This offense is going to top 5 in the NFL. The defense is going to be top 5 in third down stops. We are a much better team.

Exactly, being able to run the ball effectively not only forces a defense to be prepared to stop the run, but also makes pass protection a little easier on the OL because the defense isn't firing off in a full out pass rush every play.
