He could be a short yardage back. He could pass block. He was pushing 240 and could punish teams who went too skinny against the pass. He could absorb contact and grind out clock to finish games. He could catch balls that hit him right in the hands. I like Moss, I think that Brown has potential going forward, I just wonder why they got away from what seemed to be working. Those guys are around 215 I believe. Despite his lack of second gear Perine seemed to add a lot of value and fill a niche. I'll admit I'm biased. I like to watch a bruising rushing attack really take the wind out of a defense's sails. 

They should have switched Mixon and Perine, Mixon's jealousy would work better coming off the bench, and Perine's blocking would have helped. Thinking Mixon would have none of that.
