Mixon definitely playing better since Burrow went out - interesting.

It has also coincided with Chase Brown coming back.

I know we can all point to the ypc. But I thought Mixon has been playing better all year. There were several games it felt like we would pop off a stretch of nice runs then ignore it for a few series.

It’s coincided with better blocking. Joe has never needed a lick of motivation to play hard every down.

Agree, Brown has lit a fire in him.

The line has been a part of it for sure. But it hasn't been 100% the Olines fault.

Hell having 10 carries a game has had it's effect as well.

If you ever thought Joe Mixon was bad in Pass Protection; I present to you Chase Brown

Exactly, he doesn't get enough carries.  I would rather a 2 or 3 yard carry than a sack or incomplete pass.  Also, Brownings PA Fake is working better because he actually hands the ball off sometimes.

Mixon's resume is much larger for that though.

Yeah, but that seems to be in the past, Brown's poor pass protection is not.

Is he not a rookie with very limited snaps this season?

[Science Friction]

Somewhat overlooked from the Vikings game was the 1-yd Mixon TD run on 4th down. We likely don't win if Mixon doesn't refuse to go down there. How in the hell he made the endzone I have no idea. Grown ass man run!!!

This is why I defend Mixon more than anything. Brown was highly rated coming out of college in pass protection. I need to see it in the pros before I believe that because A) I don't trust ratings and B) he's not facing any Chem majors finishing off their amateur football career anymore.

I got to say, I really like this kid. I don't think we are in a position yet where we use him correctly. Once they figure it out, I believe he's going to earn the starting spot.

Brown will have a chance next year to prove himself. til then it's Mixon's backfield and I blame Burrow more for Mixon's lack of usage, as he prefers to opt out of runs and go with passes. Nothing wrong with it, just his preferred style and everyone here should recognize that by now. Until Burrow learns to share the duties better, no RB will do well here.

I agree, that's why I gave him the game ball yesterday

Not unlike KC, Houston or Buffalo. Neither RB's have any stellar stats.

The @Bengals are starting to become fundamentally SOLID on screens
Here @Joe_MainMixon gets to the "Sidewalk" (the #'s) he skews a little wide initially, but gets back to it
But I LOVE what he did to #39 towards the end - keeps vertical momentum, but stiff-arms him to the ground! pic.twitter.com/fHWtqHkJ8D

I heard Pace has scheduled tattoo removal surgery to get Mixon's face off his chest.
