Just my worthless 2cents

Edit;  it sometimes looks as tho Mixon just gives up or looks “lazy”. Does anyone else see that?

Nice thread, when talking about what we have been seeing from these RB's is blitz pickup is still the most important job by a
RB and Mixon has been terrible at this all the while Perine has been pretty decent at it. Mixon has looked much better running 
the ball as of late cause the OL has been much better in this Gap scheme but honestly I would give Perine a lot more snaps 
and Mixon a lot less especially if he has to pick up the blitz a lot if we are playing a blitz happy Defense.

Evans should also be getting at least 4 or 5 snaps a game instead of zero. Just my opinion on the RB situation right now.
