For all the talk about us adopting the Rams philosophy of running the ball to set up play action I just don't see it happening.
I know Mixon has barely played this preseason, but so far we have had ZERO run game. Meanwhile our pass game seems to be in decent shape. Add in the fact that our defense looks shaky and I can see us playing quite a few "shootout" type games and trailing in a lot of games in the second half.
Dalton's career high is 586 attempts ('13), but that year our offense still ranked higher in rush attempts (8th) than pass attempts (12th).
Last year 6 teams attempted more than 600 passes. I predict the Bengals will this year.
Have to do what works. Mixon can still break a big one anytime so its all good as long as we are winning games.
