No AJ Green. No Gio. When Hill was lined up in the backfield, it was almost always a run (early, before losing Gio) because he sucks at blitz pick up, and he isn't much of a receiver.
Talk to any offensive lineman and he will tell you that the best way to cure a line that is hurting in pass blocking is to let them fire off the ball and run block.
Sexy made the line look better in his very limited action a year ago. Mixon and a healthy Hewitt will have an even greater impact.
Bingo! The D will have to play honest.
