Come on... you know that your comment was weak, which is why you didn't quote me.
He got yards... barely, due to Driskel having to come in. How many games did we win with him "leading the AFC"? Exactly. Come back with something other than a Geoff Hobspin prop piece.
but that doesnt diminish how GREAT he can become in time.
Mixon was constantly facing a extra defender in the box. much like Corey Dillon in the Akili era.
to win a rushing title especially when you HAVE KNEE SURGERY and your starting QB misses 6 games.
put Mixon behind the Steelers or Rams oline and tell me how many yds he gets.
oh BTW very average stalk blocking from his WRs not named AJ Green either.
Mixon many times had to make a man miss the backfield just to get 0 yds out of the play.
one more thing to consider.
the Bengals ran of outside zones this year.
this is a man on man oline. not a zone blocking oline.
