Last year, people thought the line improved because we could run the ball better, but A LOT of those runs were on Mixon. His 1st lane was blocked many times and he made an INSANE CUT to gain 4-5-6 yards when nothing was there.
We should be a little better run blocking this year as Miller's best feature is his run blocking. One would have to think that Price will be better run blocking with a year experience and hopefully health.
Eifert should force defenses to not crowd the box as will Green and Boyd. Also, one would have to think we will use a more unconventional offense.
Mixon is also a pretty good pass catching back.
IF he stays healthy, I could see him being a Top 3 back. IF the Bengals could win, I could even see him garnering a few MVP votes or OPOY votes.
I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that he puts up numbers like Leveon Bell did during his best years.
I think so too, i think outside of Saquan Barkley i don't think there is a more talented young RB in the NFL.
Happy about the Miller pickup and like you said with Price getting healthy and having some time to grow our Line should be much better. With Mixon's versatility and crazy cuts, vision and ability to go around, through or over Defenders he could definately put up some great numbers with a better run blocking O-line. He did lead the AFC in rushing last season and got snubbed by the Probowl and should of been named All Pro, might be a chip on his shoulder there.
