1. an offensive line that can perform run-blocking as a cohesive unit
2. a RB who is either large and powerful enough to break the initial tackle (Corey Dillon, Brandon Jacobs) or a RB that is patient and elusive enough to wait for holes to open and has a push-button burst of acceleration when that hole does open (Emmitt Smith, Joe Morris)
Sorry, but Mixon ain't it. We are one-dimensional until we can get a pounding ground game and USE it (play-action) to open up the pass. Defenses will be salivating while Chase is out. We've been exposed as a pass-only effective team.
This didn't age well.
To each his own... unless you belong to a political party...
