Super Bowl on the line, and you Perine.

[Dr.Z]

I’ve said a few times, and most recently a few weeks ago that I don’t quite understand Perine’s usage. If he clearly stood out as a superior blocker, then it would’ve made a bit more sense. He’s been used as if he’s this pass catching specialist who is nails as a pass protector, and at the expense of a more explosive and better pass-catching Mixon. I think Perine - if anything - would’ve been better served as a breather for Mixon on some early downs or drives in this offense over the season, not as a 3rd down back at the expense of Mixon.
