I mean even if Joe were to stay in isn’t it likely a passing down? Most times they are throwing to Chase, Tee, or Boyd? I just was never bothered that it made us more predictable. I thought it opened it up for screens to Samaje which often broke open.
Yes, screens with our 3rd down backs were often very efficient. I just wish all the RB's were good blockers so we could even use Mixon
on 3rd down to change it up. That is the predictable part, Mixon leaving on 3rd and longs and our 3rd down Backs not getting early down
play whether that be run or pass. I know this might complicate things, but it sure could put the Defense on their heels at times.
Just another option to have in our bag.
