Mixon is the more dynamic and physically talented RB, Perine is the more reliable, four yards and a cloud of dust RB. The latter seems to be working better for this offense.
I remember the Jets game very well. The Bengals put an extra TE out there that final drive and showed some real drive in their blocking. Mixon didn't get a chance to do that because he was injured (I think?). We still owe Joe the opportunity to show what he has with the more balanced, less predictable rushing attack.
