Mixon I think has hit the Zeke Elliott wall.  He doesn't have the agility, explosiveness, or overall speed to avoid today's tacklers.  They are clearly "beating the dead horse" because he is the one getting paid.  It's really disappointing.  

I happened to skim through a couple condensed games from '17 and '18 and the difference in Mixon is night and day.

Ditto. That's who i was pining for.

Good coached teams do it and it works yes sir.

Agree, that is his problem, had a giant hole right in front of him time after time Monday night and bounced outside into 
his Guard and OT. Hit the hole damn it. Geez.

I was good with either at the time, thought Mixon had good vision, hands, burst just the same as Dalvin but it seems Joe 
has lost it and Dalvin still has his talents. Joe definitely doesn't have the vision he used to, strange how you can just lose 
this aspect of your skillset.

All I'm gonna recommend at this is point is to get a FULLBACK for Mixon.

We could call Jeremi Johnson.

Anyone that the opposing team can take down first to give mixon those extra 3 yrds.

Oh he was great.  He just couldn't keep his weight down.  I really have no ill feelings for him.

The likebacker may hit the FB first but the DE who instantly beats our tackles will still be getting Mixon in the backfield lol

You may or may not recall, but I wanted Cook because he thrived behind a very poor offensive line at FSU. What do we have in Cincinnati?

No, you saw one video or pic where he missed a hole in the middle.  There have been lots of times where the middle is clogged (defensive alignment) and by the time Mixon tries to bounce it outside, the LBs are on him.  There were lots of times (especially pitt and Dallas) where they did the same thing and clogged the middle and there was no one outside, but he just danced there waiting for an opening in the middle.  This used to be a strength of his, but it is now a weakess.

Hell, I'll settle for Domate Peko at FB.

Right now I'd take Peko at FB and DT even if he has been out of the league for a year+. He can't be worse than the practice squad guy we put out there Monday. Did that guy do anything? When I watched him he literally stood straight up at the snap and just stood there with his arms out. Maybe his job was to clog the middle, but he put no effort forth at all that I saw.

Now the coaches have gone public on Mixon.... hopefully they have lost their patience.

I recall that. My only argument for Joe over Dalvin was Joe only had 1 bad off field problem while Dalvin had more 
than one. As far as the RB's were, they were both extremely talented I just think Dalvin is smarter and has much better
vision now as Mixon is losing all the things he was supposed to be good at.

Have to think about drafting a RB somewhat early here in the next Draft or two and move on from Mixon it seems.

Which shows his lack of instincts as well as his lack of vision. Nuts how he just lost it.
