I actually think Chase Brown is a better pass blocker than Mixon.
He may not quite be the established and experienced pass catcher that Mixon is, but Brown I think could be already a better blocker.
I think we could see Chase Brown split time with Mixon quite a bit like we saw with Perine last year.
Without question, Chase Brown is a better pass blocker and not just by the numbers, when you watch both you can see one
is very willing to block for his QB while the other one is not. Also, Brown has much better vision and balance than Mixon. You
just watch, if this OL is opening up holes and our TE's and WR's are blocking down the field a 10 yard gain that Mixon would
get can turn into a 30 yard gain for Chase Brown.
I just hope the coaches use the more productive RB if Mixon stays. The one thing Mixon has on Brown is he protects the ball
much better. This could be a factor if Chase Brown doesn't have a ton of snaps as a rookie.
