Is it lack of blocking?
Not remembering the play?
Perceived lack of or inconsistent effort?
Occasional drops/fumbles in practice?
Lack of speed/athleticism/strength?
Those are the questions, a lot more goes into being a RB than carrying the ball...

Does that mean the staff will have Joe in for blocking now and in for the short yardage plays this season as well ?
Or have the staff changed their philosophy this season ?
God I hope not or we are in trouble. Being bigger doesn't make you a better blocker as we all know, Sproles and Gio were two of
the best blocking RB's in the last couple decades as RB's. I have more faith in Chase Brown and Trayveon Williams blocking than
Joe Mixon. A restructure is in the works for Mixon so he will be around so I am not going back to hoping for Zeke or Dalvin, just
have to hope Mixon learns from his poor play last season.
