The execution was bad very bad if it wasn't one of the OL it was a TE and the rare times it was blocked up to give Mixon 1 on 1 vs a Safety he loses which is his issue. Mixon is only getting what he is blocked for that's why his Yards Over Expected Percentage is near the bottom of the NFL.
That's a serious issue when Mixon is still one of the top paid players at his position even after taking a pay cut this off-Season. Also factor in that he's 8th lowest % of carries against 8+ in the box and it's pretty damning.
If you're going to have an effective rush offense in the NFL, you need a RB that can get extra yards out of one on one's either by making them miss or getting yards after contact. Well, you can also get a running QB, but that isn't happening here.
