Seems to disappear late in the game and show up on the injury report for knee issues. There is more to this story than Lazor just being a moron.
I believe someone mentioned the Bears offense earlier in this thread, or another thread. They sure do know how to make things work for them. No name receivers like Bellamy are performing in that system. Guys like Ross would thrive in a system like that. I'm a bit jealous! They also seem to know how to take two backs (Howard and Cohen) and get the most out of them. Lazor should by studying up on what they are doing.... for next season of course.
Agree, Mixon had 12 rushes and 3 receptions ! You have to get the ball to one of your better playmakers more than that. Yes I get it we couldn't run but only 3 receptions ? Gio had 4 catches, not sure how many targets they had together ? But with our best WR out they had to get those two more involved in the passing game, especially Mixon.
Idon't know it just seems our offense was drab and dull ! Other than Boyd throwing the pass it was pretty much straight line up and either out execute them or fail ! Little to no out of the box scheming.
