Scharping is not a good run blocker - Cappa was a very good run blocker, same with Adeniji and LC.
Carmen actually is a good run blocker but questionable vs the pass.
It is tough losing the power right side. Maybe Carmen and Volson can move some bodies?
I've said this before and I know Mixon has historically run better out of the gun, but, with our depleted line, I think we need to give him the ball with Burrow under center this game just so he can hit the hole fast before the defense has a chance to push our line back.
I realize they can still push them back but I just mean giving Mixon the ball while running at near full speed towards the line will give them less chance to react and make the linemen's jobs easier by not making them hold their block for long or get as much of a push.
I think it's necessary to establish the run in Buffalo and that will also open up the play action.
