There are 17 RB's with more receptions than Mixon, several with 20+ more.
Over the last 8 games starting with the Steelers his touches are 15,16,24,13,15,21,14,31 (they finally figured out they should use Joe against chargers)
Throw out the 3 twenty plus touch games and he averaged 14.5 touches in the remaining 5 !!!
Fourteen touches for one of the better weapons in the NFL, it's pathetic. Mixon is a game changing type player when given the opportunity but they continue to be unable to find ways to use him.
We're 1-7 in those games
Wow, great post man. He is just as good of a Receiver as any one of those Backs to boot.
Yeah, need to move on from Lazor, had hope and wanted to give the guy a shot but this is just unacceptable
with the amount of talent Mixon has. I remember at Oklahoma watching Mixon play and the announcers were
saying how he was just as much of a Receiver as a RB. You can split him out wide and he can run routes like a
Receiver with just as good of hands, difference? Harder to tackle.
