Obviously he's saying that Mixon has the size to be an effective pass blocker, but he's just not good at it.

I'm not sure what some of your problems is, i take his insider info with a grain of salt. You should too. It's not like people can't have friends that are close/knowledgeable on things and like to be heard, whether they are truly knowledgeable or not. Perine's Aunt lives and works here in Cincinnati, in fact, she worked with my mother for 10+ years. So it's not impossible for people to have a connection, especially if we are drafting/signing guys that are actually from Ohio/Cincinnati area. Perine wants to be a lead back, it's rather obvious he felt he wouldn't have that opportunity here so he signed with a team where he felt he had a better opportunity.

Actually, he wrote Mixon has the “ability” to pass block, but he isn’t good at it. To me, if you aren’t good at pass blocking I wouldn’t count pass blocking as an ability. Quite the opposite, that’s a lack of an ability. Mixon lacks the ability to pass block, by his own admission. He even provided multiple examples of how Mixon lacks the ability to pass block. Size and ability are two different attributes as I pointed out with the Adeniji and Munoz comparison. Mixon is a prime example of my point. I don’t equate a player’s size as synonymous with their skill level or vice versa.
