Perine is better than Mixon

What I'm saying is, we're getting similar production (sometimes better) and much better blocking out of 34 for a lot less cap space. I don't think it's been a lack of effort either. Joe has held meetings with his linemen and stable mates to try and correct issues in the run game. I know it looks like I'm trying to trash Joe, but I'm not. I'm just looking down the road at the FAs we're going to need to retain. If there's a way to move Joe's money off the books, I think the team should explore it. I also mentioned that maybe his ankle injury is more significant than he and the team are letting on, and he's trying to push through it. Maybe, and hopefully, these two weeks off will help if that is indeed the case. If not, it's possible that he's just hit the proverbial wall. He hasn't looked like himself much this year. 

Yeah, one game he went off and looked like I expected him to look like all year. Mixon's vision has been a question for most of 
the year besides the Panthers game. Samaje blocks well and can catch the ball just as good as Mixon and in my opinion has made
Mixon expendable in the future. 

Which only helps the team honestly because Mixon is paid a lot and we need to extend 3 players an insane amount of money in the 
next few years. If we can go cheaper on RB it will only help us and one can argue that Samaje helps Joe Burrow and this Offense 
more than Mixon.
