I think Mixon will be the key to next week's game. If he can get going early, then the Steelers pass rush will have to respect him and hold back a bit going after Andy. The play of the o-line was troubling today. The Fins were getting hands on Andy quite a bit and there were several near misses that would have gotten a QB with less awareness killed.
TJ Watt has been a terror this year, and Dupree is no slouch, either. They are, however, a fairly pedestrian linebacking corps up the middle with Shazier gone. There's no super-fast seeker like him to wreak havoc anymore. This needs to be exploited early.
I think Gio is missed more than many might realize. Not having that security blanket to dump off to when everyone downfield is covered has to be tough on a QB. I think this was evident today and will need to be resolved before next week.
