They WON'T be successful consistently behind this Oline. Pick one, great. But don't expect it to make much of a difference. Would love to be proven wrong.
Well Mixon was averaging 4 yards a carry with a long of only 7 meaning he was making it work last night. Making JJ Watt miss in the backfield while taking the hand off is what whoever the HB of this team needs to be able to do. A HB on this team isn't going to be the league leader in rushing with this line, but Joe Mixon has the ability to turn in some good performances if we give him a chance.
