I looked up individual game stats when someone posted about Taylor saying Mixon was top 5 in carries before he got hurt and he did have alot of carries. But the problem was excluding the Jax game he was averaging 2.9 ypc. and that's part of my concern with Taylor is not so much that he won't run the ball initially. It's that how urgently he'll address the issue if we're not running the ball efficiently which we'll just cause us to have to pass later in games.
But maybe it's a non issue since Pollack was here for Mixon's most productive year atleast ypc year. But I agree if we get a good rushing attack going that will only help the passing which will in turn help the running game.
I rip this coaching staff a lot when they do things wrong. But I have also given them credit when they do something right.
Last year at this time I was talking about the one thing that gave me hope for our coaches going forward. . . the fact that they had fixed the running game midseason. The improvement was incredible. Even though we played some weak run defenses the second half in the first half even the bad run defenses were shutting us down. And even though the Browns had a weak run defense we still ran for more yards against them in both of our games than all but two of their other opponents.
