Burrow gave Mixon props in a recent presser saying he's blocking in the pass game "Much better". To me this means they hear the outside noise, or could predict it with Perine gone and have no 3rd down back really. Mixon is good in the open field as a pass catching RB and he's made some good plays in the run game otherwise this year, we don't use him enough, and he still gets caught in the backfield sometimes. When Mixon is on the move he can be hard to bring down in the open field, but he's not on the move often enough (i.e. he takes a while to get into open space and get to top speed with leverage).
