I guarantee you Mixon has a good game against Cleveland. Two weeks rested, healthy, and the OL playing the way it has been.

Now, it very well could be that Joe's ankle was worse than they let on. If that's the case, rest him until it's 100%, because we don't need him to be successful, and we don't need him out there less than full speed.

And it hasn't been just one good game.  He also had 5+ ypc games against the Ravens and the Saints.  

I don't have a problem with evaluating Mixon's contract after the season.  But replacing a player who has done everything asked of him and performed when he's had the opportunity would have a negative impact on this locker room culture.

Since taking over for Mixon, here are his rushing stats:
Rushing Attempts = 49
Rushing Yards = 194
YPC = 3.96

That's basically the same as Mixon's season average of 3.83.

Both Perine and Mixon are good receivers, and Perine is a big dude, so I would look to occasionally put both of them on the field.
Have Mixon run behind Perine sometimes.
Have one/both of them go out for a pass while both are in.

What I'm saying is, we're getting similar production (sometimes better) and much better blocking out of 34 for a lot less cap space. I don't think it's been a lack of effort either. Joe has held meetings with his linemen and stable mates to try and correct issues in the run game. I know it looks like I'm trying to trash Joe, but I'm not. I'm just looking down the road at the FAs we're going to need to retain. If there's a way to move Joe's money off the books, I think the team should explore it. I also mentioned that maybe his ankle injury is more significant than he and the team are letting on, and he's trying to push through it. Maybe, and hopefully, these two weeks off will help if that is indeed the case. If not, it's possible that he's just hit the proverbial wall. He hasn't looked like himself much this year.

I’ve seen both in person for over 40 games between them. Mixon is much more explosive and Perine a tougher more disciplined runner. Play them both. They compliment each other well. Perine is the third down back and give him a full series here and there.

It's pretty oblivious that the running back production is directly correlated to the OL performance and scheme change.

im just correcting Zac. Mixon went 7 for 20 last time he played
