I mean he misses the few holes the line creates and misses blocks, I think Bernard is just as good if not better. I don't think Mixon sucks by any means, I just don't think he's all that great, yet at least. But then again compared to the other players around him on this team he's pretty awesome. I just think he can be a lot better, and we haven't even seen what he can do behind a good line. If we ever get this line together I hope he takes the league by storm.
Behind the line we have right now he is 5th in the league in rushing yards per game , 8th in yards from scrimmage per games, and 9th in yards per carry.
Despite missing 2 games this year Mixon is 7th in first downs gained rushing (45) and 9th in runs of 20+ yards (7).
And for those of you that complain the we don't give him enough carries he is 7th in carries per game. He could use a few more touches, but it is not like our coaches have completely ignored him.
My only concern is getting 16 healthy games out of him some year.
