Watching part of NE-GB and a back from NE on one drive had 30 yds on a few carries, didn't even get his name, but he looked good, shifty, fast and mobile. I hope Mixon breaks out for 100yds Sunday against Balt just to see some inprovement. Another poster had a good idea of rotating Mixon, Perine and Evans to spell Mixon some and give the D different looks so they aren't keying off Mixon every play.

I am not sure if this has been covered in this thread or not, but there have been extensive videos/film online about Joe Mixon tipping plays.
Basically, when he stands straight up in the backfield its a pass. When he is hunched over before the snap its a run. There is a lot of validity to it. It could be one of the reasons that teams are selling out to stop the run on certain plays.
The boys are just talkin' ball, babyyyy

If Mixon really is tipping the play, isn't that a huge shame on someone from the Bengals coaching staff? It seems like football 101 to notice and correct during game time action.
