In 2010 as Oak OC he was 4 in rushing attempts and 2 in yards. 2011 HC Oak 7 in attempts and 7 in yards. 2014 Cin OC 5 in attempts and 6 in yards. 2015 Cin OC 7 in attempts and 13 in yards. His teams were also near top of league in rushing TD. I know that many would like to see a glamorous hire, but Mike like familiarity and Hue is familiar. Maybe his track record of RB use will bode well for the Bengals. I am in the camp that Mixon is our best weapon with Andy's limitations throwing the deep ball. Play action will make it much easier for Andy to have more time also.
C McCaffrey 86 - 701 - 6
S Barkley 78 - 629 - 4
J White 76 - 674 - 6
A Kamara 70 - 591 - 4
E. Elliott 65 - 502 - 3
There are 17 RB's with more receptions than Mixon, several with 20+ more.
Over the last 8 games starting with the Steelers his touches are 15,16,24,13,15,21,14,31 (they finally figured out they should use Joe against chargers)
Throw out the 3 twenty plus touch games and he averaged 14.5 touches in the remaining 5 !!!
Fourteen touches for one of the better weapons in the NFL, it's pathetic. Mixon is a game changing type player when given the opportunity but they continue to be unable to find ways to use him.
We're 1-7 in those games
Marvin has worn out his welcome and while Hue is not who we would all choose, at least we may not have to listen to we just need to paly better. We have some things to work on. I have not seen the tape. JUST ANSWER ONE QUESTION STRAIGHT IN A NEWS CONFERENCE! :andy:
