If you were inclined to rewatch the play you’d see Burrow had time to get one of them the ball but both had defenders with both arms holding them. If I’d change anything I would have had Perine running an inside route. Definitely would have gone for the first with Mixon on 2nd and 1. I’d only throw downfield on 2nd down had we been in fg range.
I had no problem with Mixon on the bench (like most 3 downs). Give Mixon the ball there and the narrative would have been ZT is an idiot, a billion people know who is getting the ball.
Instead, the frustrating thing for me was not running to the left side (our strength). That’s the head scratcher.
