If Mixon can't go

Don't see that in him, though, so I want to see what Evans can do. I still think RBs seeing Bell be really successful in Pittsburgh with that long hesitation and pauses style ruined a bunch of good RBs who tried to imitate that. They didn't realize that it only works because he was behind an OL that was allowed to hold. Without that it doesn't work. I think we're seeing a bit more of Mixon abandoning that and running with more attitude and purpose and it's led to more broken tackles and success.

He seemed to do well down the stretch doing exactly what you are saying, but maybe he was facing tired defenses and maybe he is a guy that just relaxed when he got a contract.  Either way, he needs to step it up Sunday.  I hope we don't telegraph the "Perine is in, it is a run, and Evans is in, it is a pass".  First play of the game, I would run play action to Perine, slide him out, and throw him the ball.  Burn Green Bay for over committing to shut him down early.  Conversely, I would love to see Evans get some straight up carries.
