It’s been the weak spot of this offense since burrow has been here, and people still think it doesn’t matter. This team cannot lean on the run game if their life depended on it. That’s a problem. Especially when Burrow is gimpy
Agree with Frank here again. He says this often and it is true. Zac and co. NEED in the worst way a decent run game to compliment JB and his pass game. Doesn't have to be a top 5 run team, a top 15 would do wonders. Make the Defenses respect our run game with more than just Mixon. They have a shifty, fast back in Brown but he isn't part of the offense yet. They only have to prepare for Mixon, we don't show them any new looks with different backs.
With our pass game working AND a decent run game defenses would be forced to look and prep for both. Element of surprise to catch them off guard by just a step could make the difference in a big gain or a 2 yd loss.
