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.
It makes sense, but if we do that we cant run on every play under center and who knows how much time Burrow will have to pass if he's coming from under center....?
