Remember the deep pass blowing out the Ravens to Mixon last year?  You think Perine catches that?  Be honest.  Perine has been outstanding and I love the dude for it, but saying he is better than Mixon based on four games when the offense found its balance and better blocking isn't really fair.  

the o-line started to get it together with the saints game

Mixon still only had 1 game that wasnt mediocre, and that was the panthers game. Perine allows this offense to do more with his pass blocking ability. It's that simple. And the stiff arms are just the cherry on top
