don't know how Defenses are going to stop us now. The D can tee off on the Shotgun all they want but if they don't get home
they are screwed big time and it will frustrate the hell out of Defenses going against an accurate Burrow with time and an efficient
running game with Mixon.
If they get Zion Johnson ( unlikely) they will murder people in the run game with this new OL. It’s going to make this offense as good as any in the NFL. Mixon holds the University of Oklahoma record for TD’s per the least amount of touches. At Oklahoma every 14 touches he produced a TD. Cincy has never seen the real Mixon. In 2022 Mixon will go off like Jonathan Taylor did this year. People have been ragging on Perine but if you watched his screen pass TD versus KC late in the first half of the AFC Championship if he gets any running room he’s strong. Chris Evans I think will be a star too. If he can get down the blitz protection he could replace Perine. They like Perine on third down because they blitz us so much. If this OL can at least slow down the blitz the screen becomes a weapon. Now it’s just not and because they can’t protect for a millisecond it’s not as effective.If they can show more the running back staying into block then slip him out oh my. Recently the back has to show it too soon.
But the bottom line is Mixon in the open field is deadly. I don’t think Cincy has ever seen the real Joe Mixon.
