Why is Perrines touches so inconsistant?

In comparison, Derrick Henry has 35 yards on 12 carries on 3rd down with 8 1st downs (66.6%). With 1-3 yards to go on any down, he has 26 1st downs on 34 attempts (76.5%).

Obviously Henry is a freak of nature, but still... the point is Mixon has struggled in short yardage.

Samaje Perine is even worse, though. He's 240lbs+ and yet somehow has gotten -2 yards on 5 attempts on 3rd down, with 0 first downs. With 1-3 yards to go on any down, he has 1 1st down on 4 attempts (averaging .5 yards per carry).

Think this shows the entire team struggles on 3rd down and short. The play calling, play design, OL and running game.
