Honestly, I don't think his pass blocking is as big a deal because one of his best traits is his ability to run routes. That is one place where Mixon is undoubtedly better than Zeek. Coming out a scout said that Mixon could be a #3 WR on a lot of teams and so with that, getting him matched up on a LB is a mismatch all day. I think he is running a route more often than we keep him in to block especially if Eiffert misses time. I'd rather keep one of our back up TE's in to block and let Mixon run a route if we are going with 4 guys running routes.
