He was the 4th best back according to his peers on the NFL top 100 players heading into 2022. He was a top 5 running back according to All-Madden and Touchdown Wire. The staff like the bigger more physical Perine for blocking on pass plays and short yardage. And it worked well in not over working Mixon and keeping him fresh. But I hear they are going to take a hard look at Chase. I expect he will get tons of preseason work and practice with the 1’s in practice.
Mixon is the biggest back on the roster now.
Does that mean the staff will have Joe in for blocking now and in for the short yardage plays this season as well ?
Or have the staff changed their philosophy this season ?
