Which is really not much of a negative as there are not many on Leveon's level. I agree...he will have to become more decisive on runs that are not there and make the right reads in order to become a better runner. Heck of a pass catcher though.
True enough but they also tried to pawn it off on Dalton: "what may have been a miscommunication with Andy Dalton. Mixon looked to possibly be expecting a play fake." The link was posted in the preseason observations - Mixon just totally missed it with his own hands right in his breadbasket. 100% him.
Who cares. I've never seen a rb out of the league because they couldn't take handoffs successfully.
You should be able to get him there. Most of the ppr drafts I've done over the past month had him go in the 4th/5th. That was before the Hill injury, but I'm not clear how hurt Hill is. I think the ADP trend for Mixon has been down the past month. Competition for carries and one of the worst o-lines in the NFL primary reasons. Still considering him #1 in a rookie dynasty draft, but I'm not expecting much this year. That line looks as bad as advertised.
Wait I'm sorry... I mean 3.12 or 4.01....
Yeah I'm thinking long term being able to keep Mixon. I would agree on your assessment of Abdullah. Figuring one of those should be there when I pick... crossing my fingers
I got him at #51 which is a shock (ADP is 40.) Bet that fumbled exchange - which for all we know might have been on Andy, in slow mo it looks like he didn't stick it in there - plus Gio looking decent his first game back contributed to people letting him slide. In that Tier 3/4 RB thread he's consistently behind Fournette, CMC, Cook, Crowell, Hyde, Hunt, et al.
If I'm Marvin Lewis and I think Mixon is the guy that can lead me to the promised land I'd lean on him. Would think Cinci fans would call for his head.
Guys with 9 or more years tenure as HC:
They've all been on the hot seat at some the last two years except the hoodie. Cowher was a choker until he got a qb then he was a genius.
I don't think Marvin Lewis thinks once, let alone twice, about what the fans want him to do.
Has Marvin ever been on the hot seat? 0-7 playoff record.
Tomlin has never been on the hot seat in the past two years. Are you mad? The guy is royalty in Pitt.
Then you don't pay very close attention. Lot of people have called him a cheerleader.flysack said:
In two recent drafts he went 5.07 (#55 in a 12 team) and 5.12 (#60 also a 12 team). In the one where he went 5.07 I took Hill at 12.06 at #138. Hill is the starter and will be the starter unless he falters, gets injured or the Bengals are out of the race late in the season and Lewis decides to give Mixon and audition for 2018. Lewis isn't one to give the reigns to a rookie unless he doesn't have better options and with Hill and Bernard he has options.
1. Lewis doesn't think/know that Mixon can lead him to the promised land. He's a coach that leans on and trusts vets and until those vets prove a liability he's going to stick with them. Hill didn't have a good 2016 but has looked decent in preseason and Lewis still thinks he has promise. This is Hill's job to lose plain and simple.
His incident was 3 (or 4?) years ago.
No. Definitely not like anyone. Even a small incident or run in with the law and he might be out of the league. He has very little rope and needs to be a model citizen his whole career. Other players without previous incidents like his have way more rope.
