SmoothD Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 This three headed hydra running back situation is getting us no where. Our offense cannot get in any rhythm whatsoever because of it. Trade Jeremy to Philly and give Mixon his 20+ rushes per game. Marvin has even said he didn't realize how good Mixon is, but yet he is only getting minimal touches.

omgdrdoom Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Or just keep Hill on the team and use him as a short yardage back almost exclusively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thezerawkid Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 I mean, you can "address" the running back issue. But, you're likely just pushing paper around...the real mess is the offensive line. We all know it, not everyone chooses to discuss it full time because its more interesting to discuss matters pertaining to position players. However, that's simply not where our problem lies.

SmoothD Posted September 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Was the status on Andre Smith? Can he play RT anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turningpoint Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 I felt like they have addressed it.... It looked like for most of the game Mixon in on downs 1 and 2 and Bernard in on 3rd down. Mixon is clearly the better talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|Bunghole| Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 I have to agree. I think we should have Mixon and Hill alternate some, but with a focus on Mixon being the starter and Hill being short yardage primarily, and Gio only on third downs. I love Giovanni Bernard to death but he's going to get killed being asked to continue to run between the tackles. It isn't his strength and plus, our oline sucks.

Marlon23 Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Don't know if I am liking the 3 back set, seems the Saints are having some issues, with it. You have to give these guys the ball to get them rolling, and it is hard to do when you are being yanked every other play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmaattw Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Hill is averaging a full yard per carry more than Mixon this season.Hill is playing his last season as a Bengal. Giving him the bulk of the carries does not make any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let him earn a contract somewhere and take some tread wear off Mixon this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredtoast Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 I have been watching football for years, and all of this talk about a RB having ot "get in a rhythm" is bullshit. I have seen tons of RBs start the game running the ball well. Teams that are good at running the ball can run it well from the first carry of the game.
