There are numerous stats showing how ineffective Mixon has been so far this year. I'm not saying Hurst has been good/great but I'd like to see proof with a claim that bold.
Rewatching games, i've seen a handful of times Hurst has missed a block that caused a tackle. The one that stands out in my mind is when Hurst was going in motion to the left, Mixon got the pitch, Hurst allowed the guy right in front of him to go by (looking for someone deeper i guess) and the dude tackled Mixon for a loss.
Not saying he should not be starting at all. Love his effort and what he brings to the passing game (they missed him on big gains several times) just that he has a long way to go to be an effective blocker.
