No running lanes

The other thing we saw Sunday is him putting his foot in the ground and cutting into a backside gap on over pursuits. A lot of times those gaps don't look clean but they do provide more of those 2-3 yard pick ups than slamming into a more traditional stuffed gap. 

Yep, the scheme allows Mixon to do what he does best - use his vision to cut back when there are "no running lanes". 

There were plays where he literally cut to the back side of the line 10 -15 feet and took it for a 10 yard pop.
