Honestly we should have a full thread on this topic. With Gio out there the defense doesn't know if we are running or passing. Mixon it's either a run or a screen he can't block worth ish
Unlikely popular opinion but its how I feel after two games of watching Gio
It's an interesting debate to be had. I do think Mixon is an elite runner though. He has tremendous value.
I do think our offense is morphing into a pass-first offense with a lot of quick developing plays. We seem to get ourselves into trouble with slow developing run plays and play action. Our line gets push back too quickly.
We can't be too dependent on the pass game though. If we could run it at will we would be a lot better as a team. Mixon fits into that winning formula--our line developing does as well.
