I’m not a fan of removing a result from a dataset but the Panthers game was much a massive outlier it is fair to point out. From week five on, Mixon averaged 4.6 yards per carry and gained 590 yards. If you remove that Panthers game, his YPC drops from 4.6 to 4.1. It’s the same with his advanced metrics, too. They all tank without the Panthers game.
He was marginally better after the scheme change and had one outlier game to really boost his numbers.
After the Baltimore game (5) Mixon rushed for a 4.72 avg. That’s 15 games . Trying to use Carolina against him is not fair. Then I can come up with outliers for a lot of others. Take out Josh Jacob’s 86 yard run and he’s different. I mean in all fairness we were 29th in yards per rush. This boards continuation of laying the rushing inefficiencies all at his feet is unfair. If you are going to label his 2022 season a colossal failure you can’t disregard his 2021 season that netted his anointing by his peers the 4th best running back in the league.
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.
