I think they tried that 3 times and it went for negative yards each time. Our line is just not athletic enough and Mixon isn't shifty enough for a play like that. When we did traditional runs we pretty much always stayed on track.
Excluding the two negative tosses, Mixon rushed 12 times for 44 yards, or 3.6 yards per carry. Out of those twelve runs, only three went longer than four yards. I don't want to take the thread too off topic, but I don't personally see that as staying on track. That's still pretty poor. Even aside from that, though, there were big plays to be had but Mixon failed to make the guy miss in one-on-one situations.
