Thats right but you know Dillon had the beast in him as a RB. James Brooks too. I dont see that in Mixon.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How he plays is a different story. He isn’t confident in the pocket yet. He is checking down FAST. Hopefully by Decembe he will have the confidence to wait for his studs to get open downfield. I am 1000% fine with him taking all the check downs if it avoids another sack. Take the shots when they come but forcing it downfield got us beat. 6-8 yards at a time will still get it done. What I think we need more is someone to check it down to that can take that & create the big gains for himself like Gio once did (when we gave him the opportunity anyhow).

I'm left wondering wtf happened because that wasn't him until very recently. Lingering injury or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was most evident at the end of the Jets game when Perine came in and hit the hole with urgent force. I really like Mixon as a personality, so I want him to fix it. But perhaps trying Perine and Evans also couldn't hurt to see if it's really Mixon or the run blocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryker57 Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 teams also play different defenses when mixon isnt in. so it isnt just a swap 1 rb for another, and see what happens. also didnt i hear somewhere we played top defensive lines for the 1st 4 games of the season?
