I'm not so sure the yards before contact is an oline stat. I know it reads like that and that's what I assumed it pointed to. But when you look up what factors into the yards before contact stat. It says that a good yards before contact points to a player having above average speed and vision. Not saying Mixon isn't some of the problem in our run game. But the idea that the team would be top 10 giving Mixon a chance and he would be almost dead last in what he does with that is just obviously not true.
