Most folks can "realize" all they want but they are really doing nothing more than going on their opinion; some of which cannot be changed.
I saw a different runner Sunday, Andre Smith said he saw a different runner Sunday. So maybe despite his 11 game career; he learned a little something that could help him hit a hole instead of waiting for it.
The Browns are not a weak opponent against the run. Must folks "realize" that.
I have a feeling Mixon will "unlearn" everything he learned against the Browns, and that "different runner" will be back to posting unremarkable numbers.
Just like 5 year vet Gio and 4 year vet Hill. Maybe 11 game vet Mixon should share his tips on how to squeeze through these tiny holes we apparently have.

In the open field mixon had a tendency to stop his feet and try to juke every defender that came at him instead of just pouring on the power and break some tackles. Against thr Browns you seen him play behind his pads more. He looked like a 225 lb back in that game.
Easier to use your weight when you have a full head of steam after charging through a good hole.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
