In fact, we all expected the Bengals to focus on the run this year since it was expected to mimic the Rams offense, and we were all completely baffled when they didn't in the first half of the season. Can't believe it took them half a season to figure that out.
It didn't take them half a season to figure it out. It took them half a season to find a line combination that could run block. They did not have the lineman they picked in the draft, they were playing with Marvin's picks. Once Turner got the line straightened out, Mixon excelled. No one here is football smarter than the coaches, even though we like to think we are with 20-20 vision. Having Joe run into the back of the line 3 times in a row for 1 ypc and then punting is not going to win any games.
