My only question is whether Zac will give Brown a shot even in those favorable situations or if it will still continue to be exclusively Mixon.
I saw that someone had posted a recent game stat where the opposing defense ran a soft box (6 defenders in box) something like 70+% of plays versus the Bengals, and the Bengals continued to throw the ball like 90% of those plays. Not sure the exact numbers, but it was very telling of the team's lack of intent to run the ball. That must change if the Bengals want to get a defense reeling and keep them on their heels.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
