Zac just isn't learning

But I've also seen since positive runs where Mixon set up his blocking very well by drawing the defender into the blocker and making a nice cut. If we hadn't literally seen this exact same struggles with Mixon and then he turns it on later in the season I would be 100 percent it is him. But it may just be the blocking scheme. We had a 2 game stretch where he and the OL seemed to be working very well together. Then these last 2 it's been back to struggling so I'm not sure what the culprit is at the moment. Again it could be Mixon but Zac and Co. have proved in the past to struggle with run play design or scheme. Also not sure what's up with Chris Evans. Not necessarily worried about him not getting many carries a game but I can't understand why we refuse to get him involved in the passing game. This is the kind of stubbornness that really concerns me about Zac and why I think it might be scheme over Mixon.

It is both scheme and Mixon, all good points but we run much better in the Gap scheme because it fits our OL so much 
better than the Wide Zone. Mixon just has zero vision at times and if he just hit the hole or adjusted to what is in front 
of him better, the Offense would be playing much better as a whole and the OL wouldn't look as bad.

We have 2 players right now that are hindering the entire Offense, Jonah and Mixon. We can help Jonah and he is playing
through injury but Mixon needs to take a back seat because he cannot pick up the blitz either and Perine can.

Very true on Evans, baffled by the lack of snaps he is getting at RB and in the passing game. He had a nice 25+ catch on 
the sideline against the Browns and then we never saw him again, this is frustrating to me by Zac and the coaches.

Yep.
