Mixon has never been an upper level home run threat.

In years past he would break off a couple 10-15 yard  gains every once in awhile. And a 40 yarder couple times a season. But he's never been a true take it to the house on any given play type of RB. And as others have mentioned, at this point you have to start questioning his effort. And you really have to question his effort at pass pro.

As to Williams I just don't know ? Again as others have mentioned he's serviceable vs. average and below DE's, But struggles against the upper tier guys and gets crushed by the elite !! Can you really have a LT that's going to get your QB killed in half your game a season ?

Like the OP says I'm of the opinion we start exploring options and fast.
