Rex was a tiny sample size (1 start, 75 total carries). A blip on the radar. Meanwhile, there's 12 years of evidence that we've struggled running the ball.
Didn't struggle running the ball with Ced Benson? (They had a vertical threat)
Didn't struggle running the ball Hill's rookie season? (They had solid WRs and a solid TE)
Sexy just looked different. He hit the hole harder, quicker. Did you happen to hear about this new measure of a RBs speed at the LOS? Hill was at or near the bottom, while Mixon was 3rd in the league. In a game of inches, it matters.
Mixon is getting ready to go off...I can feel it. With Gio on the rehab field, he may have more opportunities this year. I think he was just getting in to a groove when he slipped at GB.
