I know 8 sacks look terrible...and it is, but we could actually run the ball against the Steelers and SHOULD have run the ball more and not exposed Dalton to all of those sacks. Give Mixon and Bernard the ball. Bernard is paid like a top 15 back...and he had what 5 touches against the Steelers.
So poor playcalling made the lines results much worse than they should have been.
Some of those runs were likely successful, because they were unexpected. Not to take anything away from Mixon's effort, he worked his butt off for those yards. But, the Steelers were in constant pass rush mode, and when we ran, it caught them out of position and left a running lane.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
