Mixon ran 0 times from under center in college.
He should never be asked to run from under center in the pros.
Why the hell are we so set on trying to change players to fit our mold instead of just drafting players that fit?
It's stupid. It hurts players. It kills the offense.
This was a problem under Gruden.
This was a problem under Hue.
This was a problem under Zampese.
This is a problem under Lazor.
Maybe it's not always the OC....
Couldn't agree more. I've said this many times myself. We draft guys who are good at one thing, but then try to force them to do another thing because???
We draft receiving tight ends, but our tight ends have to be blockers (though we keep several other tight ends that could be used to block). We turn tight ends into full backs, but then phase full backs out of our offensive scheme after giving them extensions. We draft 3-4 defensive ends when we run a 4-3 base. We talk about needing our linebackers to be able to cover, but draft slow run thumpers. I'll stop there, we all know the story.
