Joe Mixon

should stop recording.

I think my favorite reaction from Knut's team as well is that just like tanking, he has one passion, and it's sticking to Joe Mixon.

Even when the sleeper heading says, Joe Mixon, career could be over, he's telling people he is likely to never play again.

If you knew the history of what I paid to get Joe Mixon the second time on my roster, he's never, I mean, never is a long time, but he's not getting cut.

I can find it.

Oh, I can find it.

three team or just one for one? No, it was one for one.

It didn't work.

Maybe not an RB1, but he could be RB1 caliber down the road in the future.

This is why you saw them trade for Joe Mixon a couple years ago when we were ready to cut him, and then they ended up bringing him onto their team.

It's Damian Pierce, when they had him, They are really trying to add the emphasis of I need to be able to run the ball effectively, especially when you had young C.J. Stroud, and he's still young, coming up in the fold starting in 2023.

And that's going to be the challenge for the defense.

I mean, you saw Patrick Mahomes last night.

With a strong running game, you saw kind of what David Montgomery did, and I think that they were relying on Mixon a year ago, and it just, you know, last minute didn't happen, and so they didn't have that running game to lean on.

So I do think that Stroud and just what they had wanted to do, they're finally able to do.

They traded a not insignificant amount and paid David Montgomery.

But I like that they got a...

I don't know what happened with Joe Mixon there at the end of his tenure, but can David Montgomery replace that production? It sure looks like it.

And the Texans were a lot more dangerous when they had a run game with Joe Mixon.

So here's the thing.

Ben, this is where our fantasy player get in the way of what we're actually seeing on the field.

You just don't, because you don't see it.

Joe Mixon, probably a similar.

Joe Mixon, right?

You saw him punch.

I mean, he cracked.

And, Eddie, the other part of this is like, yeah, Georgia and Texas and all these great teams are on the roster.

Also, that team had Baker Mayfield and Joe Mixon and Samaje Pirine.

A young Orlando Brown.

Yeah.

And I do still have him as a hold because obviously I think this is a good offensive environment.

It's what sustained Joe Mixon.

And I know a lot of people are going to be like, well, this is exactly what Joe Mixon was.

If you look at Joe Mixon's game log, Yes, he scored a lot of touchdowns because the opportunity was there.

The Texans were a very good offense that year, and they went – they had like nine or ten wins in that season with Joe Mixon.

Yeah, they were 10-7 in 2024 with Joe Mixon.

You look at his game logs, though.

Montee, I mean, he could get here, but I'm just going to read off.

I'd like to see a little bit more of the ground game from Cincinnati, though, flipping back over to that side, because I think that's important to not just keep dropping Joe Burrow back all the time, because we've seen it before when he drops back 50-odd times, and you can connect all day long, but it's putting him in that Holmes way, isn't it, when you don't have a balanced offense, which feels like it's never good.

for Cincinnati when they had the Joe Mixon offense from a few years back and they had that true balance there.

That was when I felt like they were so, so dangerous.

So it's kind of getting that back there with P Ryan, whatever it kind of move him around.
