But he ran the ball much better finally, hopefully he is coming around one phase at a time.
Switching from wide zone to inside gap running scheme is very beneficial to Mixon. If the line is not athletic enough to make the necessary blocks on the wide zone Mixon wont find holes and looks worse than he really is, although he did look bad a few times.
This inside gap allows him to run straight ahead* and hit the hole instead of looking for one.
Full disclosure the RB actually has 2 options with the inside gap if the hole is closed - bounce outside or cutback - but it is much quicker than the wide zone process.
