I felt way too many times that if Mixon (or Gio) didn't get 8 yards on one of his first two carries that it was going to be another air-it-out day for the offense.

I am not saying I am against airing it out, if that is the weakness of the team you are attacking, but there needs to be a greater emphasis on rushing.  Especially given the "tee off" nature of defenses when they don't have to respect the run at all.  I think Pollack's title alone says they are aware of this and we should see a lot more of Mixon in 2021.  

Yup.  It amazes me how often the ends have their ears pinned back and we could smack them in the mouth with a trap play for a huge gain AND to keep the defense honest, only to throw it again.  Sometimes it seems that if we pass 4 or 5 consecutive plays, Taylor won't call a run for the remainder of the drive because he thinks the defense will expect it, so we have to keep throwing to keep them off balance.
