It always seemed to be more just one-yard running into the endzone untouched and unchallenged where he didn't even have to make any moves.
Even his 74-yarder against the Browns wasn't real special because he just ran through the hole untouched. His 40-yard run against them was a nice run, but still didn't make up for a season of mostly shitty runs.
I think he might split the carries early between Mixon and Hill, but hopefully Mixon just starts dominating and Marvin has no choice but to give Mixon the bulk of the carries.
That's assuming that Hill isn't cut. I'd love to see him cut and use his money to sign a center that hopefully comes available after final cuts.
Hill's TD run against the Jets was a nice run.
Considering that Perine was used as the short-yardage/goal-line back at OU, it would probably be a good idea to find a power back to fill that hole until we find out if Mixon can do that. Hopefully, Hill can do that, but they need to keep an eye on that situation.
