Nobody’s doing that man, run first offense vs Cincinnati’s league worst D, pass first. Can’t hurt to try though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NInsko 214 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I can't believe i fell for the Mixon meme. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Leopard 140 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 If he ended up in the end zone when Bernard got stopped at the 1, I wouldn’t be too concerned but here we are... the o-line is below average which doesn’t bode well going forward. I bought into Mixon due to the o-line “improvements” and burrow coming on board. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hank Thunderbolt 47 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 The drive where he got out in space and caught passes they moved the ball easily. Then went back to Burrow looking downfield every play and Bernard in there. Never established a running game. O-line, play calling, personnel selection is trash. Would try to trade but nobody including the Bengals fan in my league would take him. Complete disappointment. 61 passes by Burrow Would rage drop him to waivers if I could right now. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I also can't believe his ADP made it into the 1st round when his line is garbage, his coach is still new, and he plays the Ravens and Steelers twice. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NinerLifer 730 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Yup, I’m shook. No idea what to do with him tho, I’m always against selling low but damn. Not even sure what the market would be for him right now....I’m just sad 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brettg57 726 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I just don’t understand how the organization extends Mixon and then doesn’t fully use him. oh hey we just gave you a big contract but let’s trot out Giovani Bernard in our most crucial plays. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dreams And Dwightmares 3,229 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Relax. Bengals done this each year last 2 years. They effortlessly drive down field with Mixon running and catching passes and score. Then they go hurry up and the offense stalls because Gio blows. Then about 8 weeks in they abandon Gio and Mixon goes electric down the stretch. You just need the rest of your team to sustain your playoff run until coaches realize what they realize every year... Wow, our offense moves so much better with Mixon in the game instead of Gio. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cleanface 701 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 He was projected 15 and got 12.6. Oh well. Not like he got 5. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dreams And Dwightmares 3,229 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) The only drive they threw Mixon passes and got him in space they drove down the field in 2.5 minutes and scored a TD. Hopefully these coaches watch tape and realize the error of their ways. 4 targets / 4 receptions / 40 yards 7 targets / 5 receptions / 22 yards One of those lines belongs to a playmaker. The other to a guy impeding a playmaker. Edited September 18, 2020 by Dreams And Dwightmares 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

n4sa 684 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Mixon is such a good RB, this team is just going to waste away his prime years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He looked great on that drive once they got him in open space but I don’t think he saw a single target after. The run game is vanilla and the line sucks, so give him a chance with screens, wheel routes, dump offs, anything!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tomei7 591 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Can’t believe I took this guy with my 9th pick and passed on Cook, Chubb, Adams, Hopkins, Julio, etc. I figured with Burrow and Green coming back Mixon would be in a better situation, but man was I wrong. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mjagger42 334 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I had him last year. By the time he built his trade value back up, my season was virtually over. I thought Zac Taylor was supposed to be an offensive mastermind and would find innovative ways to get him the ball. But they insist on running him up the gut on obvious run plays, then Gio's in for passing downs. No screens, few sweeps and hardly no dumpoffs. I know the O-line has issues but the way he's being used is maddening. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
