Blocking for the OTHER Joe

The guys up front have to block better for Mixon.  I remember defenders pouring into the backfield last year.  We have to run block better this year or we are in for a big disappointment.  Chase or no Chase.

Facts.

While I believe Burrow could torch a lot of defenses going pass heavy, the elite defenses will need to be attacked with better balance.  It doesn't matter if you think run opens pass or pass opens run, the bottom line is having better balance will help the team.  

A good rushing attack allows for some big plays in the passing game too.  Those safeties need to cheat up, we have some guys that can torch them deep.
