My thought was "put Joe under center and give the ball to Mixon running straight at the line and let him get the first."

I was disgusted when we handed Perine the ball from the gun on 3rd and 1 (might have been 4th & 1. I'm trying to play poker and think about football at the same time).

Running plays from the shotgun actually perform better in short-yardage situations than under center. The Bengals just stink at short yardage situations all around.
