Perine hits the open holes and runs over guys. He takes what is there, and doesn’t get cute trying to run outside, which can result in negative yards.

Plus Perine’s pass blocking is elite for a RB. Perine is the perfect RB for this offense

We can't make an accurate comparison as we didn't really see Perine get too many snaps early on behind the struggling line.  Saying Mixon is better overall than Perine isn't a slight to Perine.  He has been great for the Bengals with Mixon out injured.  But Mixon is still the man until he shows he isn't in the offense they have  now.

Remember the deep pass blowing out the Ravens to Mixon last year?  You think Perine catches that?  Be honest.  Perine has been outstanding and I love the dude for it, but saying he is better than Mixon based on four games when the offense found its balance and better blocking isn't really fair.
