“Joe Mixon’s Monster Day Propels The Cincinnati Bengals To Their Third Super Bowl”
I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this one.... Long, sustained drives that end in TDs, keeping the Chiefs offense on the sidelines, and our defense well-rested. it would also open up play action, which Joe thrives on.
As much as our OL gets criticized for pass protection, this to me is just as much a concern. Some of the pass protection issues fall on Joe, as he tends to hold the ball looking to make a play. But our inability to run the ball consistently, especially in short yardage situations, falls squarely on the OL. To me, it's their biggest weakness.
Can you imagine how good this team could be with a consistent running attack? It would improve the offense AND the defense, per above.....
There's nothing more demoralizing to a defense than having it run down your throat, and not being able to stop it. We watched it plenty just last season....
