Sure, Mixon is good when he has big holes to run through, but Perine is far more consistent when the holes aren’t there. Mixon is faster than Perine, but he doesn’t have breakaway speed. We saw that on Mixon’s 40 yard run against the Browns.

People are grasping at straws. I get it Perine had some big games for us there and that's why I'm glad he's on the team and he deserves more reps. But Mixon and Perine both struggle if the hole isn't there. They both got stuffed a few times yesterday and I would say Mixon did better at getting 2 or 3 yds out of it. Mixon didn't take it to the house because the safety had a great angle and he had gotten past his blockers. Perine is solid and I think they're are things he does better but there is a reason Mixon is the starter.
