Taylor did well today

I hope he keeps it going.. Amazing what you can do with some good ole blocking... I just watched the victory locker room celebration.  I like Taylor, man I hope he works out..

They finally had balance and he seemed to realize that every run doesn't have to be straight at the defense.  The Jet sweeps, the plays where Boyd crashed in on the nickel CB and freed Mixon outside, and the fact that Gio actually started it with a really nice run were all great additions.

One thing to note:  There were three plays that were read-option and Burrow handed the ball off.  Had he kept either one of them, he would have had no one to tackle him for at least 15 yards.  I kept thinking they were setting it up, but never used it.  Frankly, they didn't need to.  

I am sure when the time comes, they will pull that out against the ratbirds.  Hope Joe gets a bit more comfortable with his slides.  They look awkward.
