Perine is better than Mixon

I think they are great complements and Mixon deserves more chances when healthy with this more balanced offense and improved blocking.  That is no slight to Perine.  Dude almost always seems to get at least two yards even if the play isn't there.  Runs through arm tackles.  Solid catching the ball and turning upfield immediately.  Above all else, perhaps, is his superior pass blocking in blitz pick up.  Maybe Joe is more comfortable with him in there?  I don't know.

Mixon shouldn't be demoted, but Perine has definitely earned more snaps when he returns.
