Cool.

Could be correct but damn that was a nice play by Mixon.

The second one was on the Bengals second 1st down and went for 2 yards. The third was right after the second run and went for 5 yards. That was all the runs he had.

Those 1st down runs I felt were safe plays to get the offense something simple to get them into the season I didn't put much into them and they were for positive yards, unlike many of the runs the last two years where there was no room to run at all.

I keep hearing red zone piece, but the reality is he can be a #2 for us, especially in three wide sets when we move Boyd into the slot. People that like to act like separation only occurs with speed are misguided. You can get separation by chucking out of press, you can get it by being physical at the stem, heck you don't even need it if you can shield with your body correctly (Dez Bryant made his living do this).

I 100% believe Tate could end up getting substantial snaps on this team by mid season.

Could be right man, he sure has some great hands, catch radius, physicality and just natural gifts you cannot teach a WR.

Offense -  Tra Carson - Guy has explosion when he runs. Hits the hole and anyone in his way, gets ran over!!
Defense - Nick Vigil - I thought he showed the most instincts of the starting LBers. Reads the play well and steps into the hole.

Another reason i didn't understand the Walton pick, Tra Carson. We got some good RB's, even our backups.

Great to hear about Vigil, really hope he becomes a good SAM backer for us, we need one.
