No running lanes

The other thing we saw Sunday is him putting his foot in the ground and cutting into a backside gap on over pursuits. A lot of times those gaps don't look clean but they do provide more of those 2-3 yard pick ups than slamming into a more traditional stuffed gap. 

That's what I noticed, as well.  I'm hoping that the trend continues, and we get to see Mixon break off a couple of long gainers this year.  The lack of inside push in short yardage situations was pretty much expected, but still a bit unnerving to witness.
