Zach Carter time.
I think we're going to like him.

If this isn’t on Mixon, then they could pay about $7 million less for another RB to run into defenders.

Tua is back in. He'll be playing Thursday.

Mixon is starting to feel very underwhelming... how many years are we going to continue to blame the O-Line? Look I get it but when they give you that much $$$ you have to produce and Mixon hasn't this year.

Soon , no way you can pay Mixon big bucks. None. We are a passing team and young, decent to good, RBs come cheap.

Who would rather sign Mixon than ANY of the top 3 WRs on this team?

Exactly. It doesn't matter whether the lack of run game is the line's or Mixon's fault, we can save money by putting just about any RB back there.

If keeping Higgins means losing Mixon I’m all for it.

His one good rush today was when he actually cut back instead of trying to gain the edge. Stretch run plays are doing exactly what defenses with really fast LBs want - making the offense side to side.

RBs shelf life is 7-8 years. That's why you don't give them a big 2nd contract.

He looks slow. Really slow.

I'd like to think I could muster 1.6 YPC. My strong suit would be my patience as a runner. Of course it wouldn't be patience by design, I'd just be much slower than everyone else. Give the blocking "time to develop"

13 rush yards….sad

Needs to be this draft, second round range. And if they want to re-sign Mixon, make it the most team friendly deal it can be.
