Perine is better than Mixon

I have zero justification for his beyond awful passing blocking skills.

Yeah I think it's mainly a blocking problem over Mixon dancing. On some plays there's one free unblocked player and I've seen Mixon do a delayed jump cut in order to get the unblocked player commit to the wrong gap. But on a play where Mixon gets tackled by 2 or 3 guys that's not product of him dancing too much that's just a poorly blocked play. But I agree on his poor pass pro but with the line playing better hopefully that will make his job easier. But this is a game where we may need to help on the edge so it may be a good game to ease Mixon back in while giving Perine a good amount of reps.
