should specifically help him the most. What Ted, Alex and La'el do the best is run block. This is their strength. My big
prediction this year is we have the #1 running game in the NFL cause it will work with these guys.

No need to throw too much if the running game is always working.

Hell of a post.

It's unreal that he had was a top five RB with that line, especially because it's not like they were good at pass blocking either, which means teams could load the box.

I might add a bet with him finishing as the top rusher (or top 3) because I think he gets that easily.

Teams having to respect the o-line giving Burrow time to let Chase, Higgins, and Boyd get into their routes means that the defense can't load the box or they just give Mixon 5 to 7 yards a pop.

He'll also get a lot of yards when we're up by 3 TDs and just running the ball to kill the clock. I realize that we won't be like Runkowski in '09 where he'd go dive, off-tackle, pass, punt, but we'll be able to run the ball more, especially with the defense tired out from us running up and down the field on them.
