He is so hot and cold to me.
Sometimes, I think he is too “big” to be nifty. Dude is built but when I see these shifty nifty little dudes change direction - ON A DIME - and finding holes —I get a little jelly we don’t have someone like that.
I feel like he has holes created and runs through then but rarely creates great plays on his own.
I also think Mixon falls down a lot.
I am not hating on him - I just think he is “good” at best on his strong days.
Yes. I realize the Oline isn’t great.
Start the hate. Here we go. Lol.
I think this is accurate. I've been pounding for most of the season that the Bengals running game isn't good. I see various posters here and in other Bengals communities talk about "pound the rock with Mixon" and "become a tough, run heavy, physical team' etc.
This is an awful idea, the Bengals absolutely stink at running the ball. This isn't all Mixon's fault, I do think he is very talented. The offensive line is inconsistent with opening running lanes and he does seem to get tripped up often.
