Joe Mixon May Hold Out

Everybody keeps talking the running game/RB's aren't what they used to be and I'm not disputing that.

But I've seen this play out more often than not in my 45+ years of watching the Bengals/NFL football. September, October, early November in the warm weather part of the season there's high flying aerial passing acrobatics and many teams do well with just an average running game and some not much at all.

However, when you get into the last 1/4 of the season and the playoffs things start changing. Your opponents have more film on you, the weather turns colder, the football gets harder, the wear and tear of the season starts showing. That's when having a top notch running game starts paying off.

Add in having a rookie QB and we need a quality running game. Cut Dalton and pay the man a decent amount. I'm not saying 16 million.
