We rarely set up our rush attempts to go outside, which puzzles me. If the interior of the line is so weak, why not focus on setting the edge and allowing the speed of Gio and Mixon to get outside.
I called the quick pitch to Gio outside on 3rd and 3, I think it was, and it was an easy first down. One more tackle broken and he scores. Now, if the defense had to worry about that happening on BOTH sides (with Gio AND Mixon in the backfield) it might open up the middle. But not with our existing guard play and not with our current blocking schematic.
