I feel like that's where we are, though. A lot of the time RBs don't get large carries because they just are not doing that well. He actually had a game where he had 10 carries for 2 yards. You simply can't keep handing him the ball at that point.
I think it's because it's a well below average pass blocker. It's the same reason why he doesn't get playing time in the 2 minute drill. Also Zac Taylor's offense is garbage.
Difference is what I said, Mixon has great hands unlike Jeremeh who was only a goal line RB by the end of his time here.
Yes, Taylor's Offense was garbage last year and that is why Mixon wasn't used in the passing game enough. With our injuries to our
WR's last season we should of used more of both Mixon and Gio in the game at the same time and more 2 or even 3 TE sets like the
49ers do.
Taylor talked about adjusting in the Offseason before but this would of been a good adjustment especially with AJ and Ross
always being injured. Have to run the ball and keep the Offense balanced and use your RB's in the passing game.
Also don't like how we are so predictable about using Gio specifically as a 3rd down scat back and don't use him more on early downs.
Mixon was the best at picking up the blitz of his class of RB's when we drafted him BTW.
