But Burrow struggled to start and we all pointed out the appendix which I'm sure it had something to do with it. But I noticed with Burrow the line would appear to lose early Burrow would drop his eyes and start to essentially panic and end up taking a sack. But the line would stay with they're guys and after losing initially would be able to wash they're guys out of the play and maintain a good pocket. Once Burrow adjusted with this and settled down he would just make slight adjustments in the pocket and keep his eyes down field. I just mention all this because he had to adjust to the new personnel on the line and I just wonder if the same was true with Mixon. Knowing how guys block and what a win or loss of them blocking looks like. Just a thought because generally i think his vision is fine.
Yes, the Jets game stood out.
It is all about continuity for sure. But when Mixon has 2 blockers in front of him, an OL and a TE to the left and cuts to the right into
the Safety it just blew my mind last year early in the season. I don't know if this is vision or just stupidity, I simply do not know. I don't
see Burrow ever panic, I have seen him unsure of things with his appendectomy, the new OL and the calf though.
It would be nice for Burrow and the entire Offense to have a clean Offseason, preseason snaps and continuity leading into the opener
for once. But onto now where Mixon is playing well and we have a shot at the Playoffs. I do believe having another RB like Chase Brown
helps Mixon. This guy has vision, quicks and long speed, the things Mixon doesn't have. Great 1-2 punch.
