Teeggins, Chase, Boyd, Perine, Mixon, Hurst, Irwin, etc. The key is to get the rock going, no, not Mixon, it will be Perine, also Perine is an excellent blocker. I've waiting all season for Mixon to dominate and he hasn't, we even revamped our line with same result. Is Mixon good? yes he is, is he the guy to pound the ball and get the yardage, no.
If Zac and Callahan dont wanna be 0-2 in the SB, they will need to utilize Perine more to have success with the running game. Mixon can give some rest to Perine.
I agree. I like Mixon but something tells me/shows me he tries to make too many big plays instead of just getting 3-5 yards which is all this offense really needs to stay manageable and to spring big play. Perine is powerful, stays low to the ground, gets lost behind blockers and can get that extra 1-2 yards many times after initial contact.
