It's just interesting to me that with an injured QB that they go out there and have him throw it 50+ times. (49 throws and 2 sacks).
And we ran it 23 times. (Mixon had his worst ypc this game as he was above 4 ypc in his previous games.)
It kind of shows why we struggle vs the AFC North, but do well against other teams. The Rams, outside of Donald...have a mediocre pass rush. The teams in the AFC North all have great pass rushes, so if you drop back 50 times...you're going to get sacked more than twice.
But, there will be games where we need to be balanced. Why do you think we don't run more?
We are not designed to be run heavy or even balanced. It's obvious, but it is what it is...
I thought Mixon had a very solid game, his last few runs were to kill clock vs stacked lines & run blitzes, all negative results. Removing those he still isnt at 4.0 but he looks a ton better than most of last year.
