He's not exactly an explosive player to create beyond what the OL is opening.
If you want to try boosting the run game, maybe try to give the other guys more snaps to give Mixon a bit of a breather.
They only have received 8 carries, which is less than 9% of the RB carries.
They are averaging 4.25 YPC among the backups in those 8 carries.
Mixon is averaging 3.9 YPC.
No offense taken. It's a fair question. I feel like the coaching staff just doesn't trust the back ups and Perine would be trusted to spell Mixon immediately. Plus, I love that stiff arm!
