Also saw two people saying Mixon's pass blocking improved. I haven't noticed that. They were having to bring Trayveon Williams in to pass block because he isn't terrible at it, but that means pretty much admitting that it's going to be a pass 90% of the time. That PFF thread Holic posted a couple days back Mixon's pass blocking grade was 29.7 and he was the overall 38th ranked RB.

He improved "a bit" in a few games vs. lesser competition is more accurate. At least he got in their way haha. But as you say he's still bad at pass pro. 

I'm not for keeping Mixon as the Bell Cow in any way, shape, or form. But if they can talk him down another million and he's willing I wouldn't be opposed to him staying as part of a rotation. and receiving back. 

I'm 100% on the we need to improve our RB room train. And IMHO we need to reexamine the way we look at the run/scheme/play design. Umm we were the worst team in the NFL in total running yards last season. What we're doing isn't working.
