I always worry how much contracts are a factor. Could Mike want to get his money's worth? Could Taylor be reluctant to admit Mixon is failing when Mike is spending so much money on him? (Would make Zac look bad to his boss?)
Perine's stats are odd, he doesn't have enough rushes, but his yards before contact is very high (3.4) compared to Mixon's (1.5). His yards after contact is below average (1.5) while Mixon's is atrocious (0.5).
Part of Mixon's play can likely be blamed on our line and he can't break out of the backfield.
