It may not be more than a 1 week thing, since Pitt is so good at filling gaps and playing sound. 

If the run game looks, over the next few weeks, more like it has all season, then it was just the Browns. I think the light finally came on for Mixon though, and he's less interested in being the next "patient" LBell and more interested in being the new Joe Mixon. 

Yes, the convo with the line was interesting as I listened to the post game.  Mixon asked them what they expected, and they talked with him about what he was looking for.

More Hewitt, and more aggression from Joe were key, but the blocking was more aggressive, more pulling, and more directional than in the past weeks.  There was still a lot of zone blocking, but I noticed a much more aggressive approach.  It's not out of the realm of possibility that they have been adding some wrinkles here and there during practice and finally felt comfortable enough with it to debut it last week.
