Okay. But as I pointed out Mixon still handles the majority of the short yardage carries and hurts his ypc in doing so. But let's just say yes Perine was more effective here his running style better suited our scheme for whatever reason. Mixon has the higher potential than Perine and has hit a higher ceiling than Perine. It would make sense to focus on getting Mixon in a scheme that suits him more. Why did we not sign Perine? Why did he get such a cheap contract from the Broncos?
