They’ve got it for the OL to compare. They’ve got the video. Players get graded. With his high salary I wonder why they haven’t moved on. Why they didn’t be more aggressive keeping Samaje. With Joe’s recent personal issues it’d sure be easy to let him go. Wonder what they know we don’t?
Sometimes we might give the coaches more credit than they deserve. Our front office is not as good or as creative as the tops of the league. In retrospect Mixon's 2nd contract may have been a mistake. But I believe his struggles do not just fall on his shoulders. Maybe were waiting until after June 1st to cut him or maybe they want to honor his contract. But if we continue to try and improve the areas around Mixon blocking and play calling than I think he will be a valuable member of the team this year.
