Lastly, if they insist on running the ball from shotgun in short yardage situations; Mixon needs to be lined up on whichever side they are attempting to A gap, has to be a bang-bang, quick hitter, otherwise defense has time to get too many bodies in the pile.

I do wonder with Burrow looking better if they don’t start to line them up under center a bit more. That may help the running game a bit, or at least diversify it some, leading to at least a chance to get it going.
