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.

Zion is definitely my hope right now, I think he would be the most pro ready for us of the OL possibilities. Like you said though it is 
unlikely he will fall to 31 but you never know. Mixon definitely needs to be used more in the passing game like he was in Oklahoma
that is true. I too believe this is going to be Mixon's best year if he stays healthy and I wouldn't mind if we kept Perine around, I just
think Evans is so much more dynamic if he can pick up the blitz efficiently.

It is going to be fun if this OL can stay healthy for the most part and we add a couple more for depth or even competition for the LG
spot and insurance in case Carman's back injury lingers. Zion Johnson would be ideal.
