I'm not saying he's not replaceable (only a few players are considered Irreplaceable), just saying that what Zac expects/wants from Mixon, he's doing that, otherwise he would be out the door. Until we get someone that IS better for our system, then he's good enough for us to win with.
The only disconnect we seem to have is as long as Burrow is Burrow, we are a PASSING team first. We will never be a RUN first team. Would we like to have a strong power runner? OFC, but we need a Back that is great at Catching passes first. Mixon has looked good in the past, when we had a semi-decent OL and was on his way to earning that pay, so let's see what he does this year with a better OL.
Trust me, we don't have a disconnect there. If anything, I have argued that Cincinnati should pass the ball more. The last thing I want this team to ever be is a run first team.
