Technically Uzomah was active, but he only had 2 rec for 11 yards. With Chase and Higgins occupying a ton of attention outside and deep, Boyd and Uzomah should have been able to step up more.
Aside from Higgins's and Chase's two big plays (75 yards and 46 yards, respectively), the passing game was not working well at all.
What was nice to see was Mixon averaging 4.8 YPC. Not really sure about the Perine carries. Dude had two carries and got 0 yards. Not sure why Bengals didn't put Mixon out there instead. Chris Evans was also a nonfactor. Mixon in the passing game was not good.
Boyd having his only drop of the season on a crucial 3rd down in the SB was tough. But Joe had zero time.
Not sure we are so terrible with acquiring oline. We have 2 1st round busts and below average free agents. We have drafted ONE solid oline starter the last 10 years.
Time to get an oline scout, get Mike Brown out of any player decisions (if he truly forced the Carmen pick not sure how I handle that).
Prioritize spending based upon protecting Joe - skilled players based upon production.
