I have zero justification for his beyond awful passing blocking skills.
I think you are right Casear, I hope so and Mixon continues his play against the Panthers into this game because like BengalsRocker
said, no time to lose to the Stains to appease just one player. Also, I want to see much more desire from him to pass block which is
my main criticism of Mixon. If he shows some desire to pass block I am all good with him being the main back on 1st and 2nd down
and then bringing in Samaje on 3rd downs.
Just cannot take away the obvious though, when Samaje is in the game we are less predictable because no one knows if we are
going to run or pass. With Mixon early in the season we were very predictable because we were going to run when he was in and
that was obvious.
