I think the scheme was trash and Mixon just isn’t that type of back. He’s one cut and explode, the scheme was tooled more for a Laveon Bell type back. Bell was a genius at dancing behind the crowd and finding a hole with patience. Mixon is a wrecking ball type back. The scheme he succeeds behind is one where the lineman are firing off the line with the purpose of blocking a specific guy and pushing that guy back. He can’t create holes but he’s amazing at exploding thru them

I agree, but lately he had been missing holes, and going down too easy on first contact. Maybe he'd been battling the ankle since NYJ. Tough to say.

Sunday had a great scheme and a great execution. Also, Mixon wasn't going down without a fight, was very decisive, and even looked a bit faster. 

It has been a combination of things in my opinion. Hopefully Sunday points to everyone ironing it out moving forward.
