Yes the offensive line stinks but the truly great RBs still find away to "get skinny" and create their own holes from time to time. I don't recall ever seeing Mixon do that. And when was the last time he broke a long run and out ran someone to the end zone?

Does Mixon even have a run over 50 in his career? I know Gio does... Seriously, Mixon isn't much better than Gio if at all...

I usually agree with you guys but I don't understand Mixon or Gio hate behind this O-line.
And the only thing Gio is better at than Mixon is picking up the blitz which Gio is elite at.
Mixon can truck defenders and has just as good of hands as Gio. If used as a pass catcher more there isn't a more dynamic
RB in the NFL than Mixon. He is great after the catch, has great hands, elusiveness and can go through defenders unlike Gio.
But right now, I stick with Gio while the Offense is rolling. Doesn't take shit away from Mixon IMO.
Roll with the hot hand.
