Playcalls are predictable.
That said, Mixon isn't the fastest guy nor is he elusive.
I've said it in the past multiple times with Mixon. He's an odd back to judge and I use 2019 as an example. That year he had 4 games in the beginning of the year that he went 6 for 10, 11 for 17, 8 for 10 and 10 for 2. That was during the first half of the season. The 2nd half he was the 2nd best back in the league. Not sure what changed other than blocking scheme and or an emphasis on the run game. My point is he can look terrible but when used correctly be a top back in the league. Not sure that it still holds true today but that is the difference coaching and execution can have on his game.
