People keep bashing the offense

I'm tired of hearing how our defense is good till it gets gassed.   They are not playing well when they're fresh.  The line gets pushed around and taken out of their gaps and almost no one can tackle.   It's embarrassing to watch.

And I have to agree with Bfine on Mixon.   I think he's way overrated.  He can get around the edge for a big guy, but I think his vision is really poor.  Should have taken Cook... or an offensive lineman.

We don't seem to have a good long range assessment of talent.   There will be a number of good backs in this draft - and folks have been talking about them since game 1.
