I don't think it's a coincidence that both Mixon and Burrow have not started out great when the line has struggled.  I just don't understand the fans that claim the problems on offense aren't because of the O-line. The problems are because of Mixon and Burrow.  Really? 

It's very possible with a very sub par line the past couple seasons that he's developed some bad habits. Not having complete faith in your OL and especially the 3 new OL, he's hitting the very first hole/perceived hole he can instead of waiting for something to develop.

Great video yesterday of not following his C to the right who not only blocked the DT but also made it to the 2nd level, only to see Mixon quit on the play as he started that way but ran back inside into a couple jerseys for a yard gain. Vision and patience are the biggest qualities a RB needs.
