We also saw a super sloppy defense in the preseason play exactly like that for nearly half the regular season.
Yep. Really people were expecting to see Ross and Mixon come in and be stars. Ross hasn't played and will likely be used only a little during the season.
Mixon looks to have immense talent...but the poor offensive line will negate that. It's obvious. A RB needs holes and good blocks to get yards. It was a pipe dream thinking that Mixons talent would transcend that.
Dalton was only sacked once but under pressure a lot.
All in all...if they don't correct this, we're headed for 6-10 or 7-9.
