We've ranked 20th or worse in YPC every year since 2006...with the exception of 2014. Mixon will be the latest 2nd round talent at RB and probably the most talented RB we've drafted since Dillon. If he struggles, again you have to look at the o-line.

Of course, Paul has a perma-job, so that situation is hopeless. We just have to hope that Andre makes a big difference and Mixon is the type of all-world talent that can produce in spite of everything.

Exactly right.....pretty much what I came here to post.  It all hinges on the o line.  Let's hope the offseason work Og and Fisher put in pays off big time.  According to our "well respected" o line tackling dummy, they can't be coached up during the season.  I'm starting to wonder if they can be coached up during camp or any other time they're not working with an outside consultant.
