I am a Mixon fan. I do think he is better than average. But I admit there are negatives to his game that keep him out of the top 10. I wouldn't be so quick to point to the Line if we haven't seen drastic differences in Mixons game in the past over the course of a single season. I also think Mixon on short yardage more often than not has picked up the 1st. Not sure if that's a stat that can be looked up. But I would say whoever is in charge of our short yardage plays needs his duties removed or needs to take a hard look in the mirror. We had a lot of bad plays on 3rd and 1 or more specifically on 4th and 1. Also want to mention when Kappa got hurt it was on like a 2nd and 1 or 3rd and 1 trying to throw the ball down the field. Just saying how we used the run and in what situations didn't always seem to be the best thought out.
