Connor is a waste in that situation. At lest someone like gio offered more in the receiving game. Not sure Conner is better than mixon in that category. I’d be surprised if he was.
Mixon on 3rd down:
15 attempts 23 yards 1.5 ave 9 long 1 TD 6 first downs
6 receptions 81 yards 13.5 ave 0 TD
Perine:
11 attempts 14 yards 1.3 ave 4 long 0 TD 2 first downs
13 receptions 111 yards 8.5 ave 0 TD
Conner:
32 attempts 118 yards 3.7 ave 19 long 2 TD 18 first downs
5 receptions 89 yards 17.8 ave 1 TD
Mixon converted 40% of 3rd down rushes.
Perine converted 18% of 3rd down rushes.
Conner converted 56% of 3rd down rushes.
Mixon had 42 receptions on 49 targets (87.5%) converting 11 for first downs (26%)
Perine had 27 receptions on 31 targets (87%) converting 9 for first downs (33%)
Conner had 37 receptions on 39 targets (95%) converting 18 for first downs (49%)
Tell me again how Conner is a waste converting 3rd downs. Or he doesn’t offer much as a receiver. Please. Because I love comedy.
