Brad, i don't have to counter every single thing you say. There are a couple things Perine could have done differently. Mixon could have been in instead. Zac could have called a "better" play. 

The fact of the matter on that play is, Perine went straight ahead and ran into a line, that would have been in the exact same place had he taken a handoff from a QB under Center. There's no guarantee that doing it that way would have been more beneficial. There's only the opinion that it could have. If you look at the play, he could have gone left (like Mixon has done several times this year), right behind Uzo and who knows how many yards he would have gained. You should be blaming Perine not tilting at windmills. 

None of that detracts from the stone cold fact that running games benefit more from handing the ball off from shotgun, not to mention that you completely take away any kind of RPO when the QB is under Center.
