Don't get me wrong because I still have the clip playing in (what's left of) my brain of Joe talking to him on the sideline and saying "when we run the ball like that, no one can beat us," but Mixon has to look at it from a business standpoint and consider what's best for the team and for himself because I don't think any team is going to pay big bucks to a 27-year-old back (27 when season starts) with over 1,300 carries.
I realize that he probably still has two seasons or so until he hits what is the usual decline, but he has to know that another team isn't going to pay big bucks for a back at his age that isn't a top back in the league, especially with his past.
I do hope that they work with him on his pass blocking because that's coachable, but I hope (and think it's smart for him) to take a pay cut to stay with the team.
Joe’s pass blocking issues aren’t as much ability as mental. He’s not bright. I just don’t think he’s as savvy and smart as Samaje. But make no mistake if you saw Samaje throw Micah Parsons around like a rag doll he’s about the strongest back in the NFL. The two are really a good combo. Mixon doesn’t need to be in there for all the snaps.
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.
