Same way I feel. It is like we might finally see the RB we were all wanting to see since he was drafted.
There is only 1 Barry Sanders, but Joe Mixon might have a record breaking year if this revamped OL stays healthy.
These guys we brought in are built to run block. All of Cappa, Karras and Collins are superbly technically sound in the run game.
Also Carman and Jonah are good run blockers.
Really like Volson too if called upon.

It's almost like he's wearing too big of shoe and that makes him drag his toe when he starts his burst in the open field. It may have only been a few times over the years but those times sure stick in my memory, especially when there's an open field in front of him.
True, that has nothing to do with the OL. Mixon needs to practice high stepping or something.
Quit dragging those feet.
