In weeks 1-4 and 14-17 of the 2019 season when John Ross was starting it was a good bet Joe Mixon was going to have a good rushing day.
Week 1. 6 10
2. 11 17
3. 15 60
4. 15 62
14. 23 146 1
15. 25 136
16. 21 50
17. 26 162 2
The 1st 2 weeks ZT abandoned the running game
But Ross was still very productive catching the ball. But overall when Ross was on the field Joe Mixon averaged 4.5 YPC.
When Ross was injured Mixon averaged only 3.6 YPC.
In the last 4 games Mixon averaged about 126 YPG.
Whats my point. ? Even if John Ross isnt catching the football
He still directly affects how a defense lines up on the field
When Ross lines up defenses cant simply load up the box all the
Time
So for those of you who constantly remind of us of his drops let this
Sink in. When Ross is in the offense Mixon averages 4.5 YPC.
when he wasn't in the offense in 2019 it 3.6. Huge diff.
