Why would we take the ball out of Burrow's hands and give it to one of the worst starting RBs in the NFL?
Mixon has the 3rd most targets of any RB and his YPC sux
Laps said constantly pass blocking as an olineman sux. You've got to react to the defender instead of the defender reacting to you.
Folks are over-reacting to the 10 carry game.
Yep. Brady and NE and other successful teams also use the short passing game as their running game alot of the time. When Cinci. realized this and teams started off playing 2 high S looks earlier in the year they started to take what the D gave them. Imo, mondays game was for the taking as they had a couple early picks to capitalize on but Garrett made a great play on a JB throw and the MO shifted.
Sometimes these games get away and and take on a life of their own and that's what happened against the stains. No different than making a FG at the end of the half and being down 8-3 instead of 11-0. Another huge shift.
