Perine is better than Mixon

That doesn't work as well from the gun because the backers have more time to decide to commit or not.

I mentioned that but people pointed out that he ran the ball better from the gun. 

If Mixon is more decisive and stops dancing so much behind the line, I think he's the better back.

But he's done that exactly once all season. I agree, he *should* be the better back.....but he simply hasn't been. His blocking is pitiful too. 

Lemme ask the folks saying it's crazy to consider starting 34.....game on the line and you need three yards. Based on the year as a whole, who you trust to get it, 34 or 28? 

I find it comical that people say Perine didn't have to run behind the same scheme, lol. Of course he did, he's played in EVERY game.

That said, he'll definitely get a crack to try it again, and he should. He's been here a while and has earned the C on his jersey. However, if we continue to get more of the same, it shouldn't take long to yank him. No one is forgetting anything, we're just watching a better, more balanced offense with him out vs two rather good opponents.
