Does Burrow need to hit another level?

We throw 40 times and hand off to Mixon 10 times. He has no chance to get in any sort of rhythm and also has had to run from shotgun for most of the last 4 years.

I'm just trying to he fair, here.

Because we run the offense this way, Joe has to play at an elite level. The chips are all pushed in on him.

Getting this blocking on crunch and coming away with 3 yards is a travesty pic.twitter.com/xT6CW9BxH1

I do think Mixon is a big part of the problem. There are just far too many plays like this one.
