We actually agree, I simply didnt word it very well.  I was implying that usually the change of pace back is the speedy guy, but Mixon is more trusted with better hands on 3rd downs.  Not sure how he would go for it...?

His most impressive run was the one in which he spun out of a tackle after 4 yards or so and made the 1st down, or was very close, I think I complained about that spot.  But tons of effort.

Considering he accepted the recent pay reduction without much of a flinch, I would think that he would be conducive to the idea of extending his career and maximizing his output in a reduced capacity.  (but that's just my view of the situation)

I think Brown had few nices runs and is a good compliment with Mixon, I could see him more on 1st and 3rd downs with medium down and distance, but Mixon is the Punisher for short yards and more on pure pass downs ..

I think Chase Brown and Tanner Hudson could be,should be,more involved is this Offense moving forward.We just put the league on notice.
The Bengals are back!

Im afraid Tanner is the anti-Stanley Morgan.  He is only in on passing plays and that is a huge tell for defenses.  He must improve his blocking, Casey came real close to saying that it wasn't acceptable a few weeks ago.

We must feed Brown, he has Pacheco written all over him.

The play where he spun his body around to get the first, breaking tackles along the way, was pure art. He played his ass off, I've not questioned his effort, just some of the skill.

Yes, that's the play I was referring to. That was ALL effort.

This is what I have been wanting to see all season, too bad Chase Brown has been injured. He shown last night why I always liked 
him and thought he would be the perfect fit in our Offense. Mixon played good last night too and the OL actually opened up some 
holes against a very good run Defense. Mixon keeping his balance on the first TD run was great to see.

Ja'Marr like always is simply one of if not the best WR's in the NFL. Saved Browning on his one inaccurate pass of the night.

Mad respect to Jake Browning, he was accurate last night besides the 1 Chase throw.

It feels so good to have a 1-2 punch again. Chase Brown has really rejuvenated this offense, he reminds me so much of Gio. Dude is legit

Seems to be faster than Gio and bigger... don't quote me on the body stats lol

Nice to see that we hit on RB. Still room to see next year maybe if he can handle being the primary.

Chase and the OL. Mixon having more success as well. No sacks and few hurries just helps the rhythm. The offensive staff and OL have really balled out.

Yes he has

And he's lit a fire under Mixon's arse.

Hopefully the two dudes compete and motivate each other to take us into the playoffs.

I think the whole offense, especially RBs and OL is benefiting from not doing every single snap out of the gun. It's been talked about many times how limiting and predictable it makes your offense and especially run game.

Yes really like the look of this kid and Joe running the ball. And catching of course.

He has a James Brooks style. That’s going to boost any offense.

Yes!! Defenses talk about making the other team one dimensional, and we had been doing it to ourselves. O-line is still are not glass eaters ( whatever the hell that was supposed to be about ) and you scheme to your strengths and away from your weaknesses.

Exactly !!

I sure hope Joe Burrow is taking notes on this style offense.
