But im firm when i say this,, Joe Mixon has a hard time creating on his own..
There are few RBs in this league that have a vision and the talent to run behind an average line and are capable to create positive gains
Mixon is not 1 of them..
He's a beast but by now he should know hes getting met at the line and figure out a way to create on his own..
Joe looked slow yesterday. Something was up. He didn't have that same energy he usually has.
I will also say, Joe's running style is different from someone like Dalvin Cook. Cook hits the hole with speed and doesn't look back. Its a quick decision. Joe is more like Laveon Bell. He almost comes to a complete stop at the line, hides behind it, then picks his hole and accelerates through it. I'm not sure how ideal that running style is behind this particular offensive line.
I watched the Vikings game last week against the Steelers and was absolutely shocked at how electric Cook looked. I love Joe but he just doesn't have that gear. Not many do.
