This does not take into account the guys in front, blocking. I would expect Connor to have a huge regression, had he ran on those same situations last year with the bengals. With an upgraded line, mixon will get better.
Money can be better spent elsewhere.
You’re welcome. I like being right. You should try it some time.

Quote:Run blocking has been a problem for Arizona all season, and the success they have had on the ground is due in large part to their offensive line splits and the performance of James Conner. Pass protection has been better, though. Rodney Hudson at center has improved the overall cohesion of the group, even if his 60.3 PFF grade is the lowest of his impressive career. He allowed four pressures in 12 starts. D.J. Humphries showed his importance when he missed a game and forced a reshuffle on the line.
This team is one failed 3rd down away from a Super Bowl win because they tried to force Gio to take an unnecessary $2M pay cut when they didn’t need the cap relief.
I signed four starters on the Oline. If Mixon would be better behind a better line so would Conner. He was the last player I added.
Take him away, you’ve got $15.5M in cap space. Where would you better spend the money?
