Perine Has Earned his Playing Time

1. My goodness I knew it was bad but didn’t know it was THAT bad

2. He’s been getting touches too.

   Most targeted player on the team on Monday.

   He’s just doesn’t have that step this year. I’ve never seen Joe Mixon just run straight into dudes like this.

   Makes me think maybe he isn’t 100%.

3. Mixon needs his touches dialed back and than give those touches to Perine and Evans. Use these players to their strengths. Perine can hit the hole at full speed and fight for tough yards. Evans can catch the ball hella good for RB, he also is fast enough to be the RB used on screens and pitches. If mix is hurt he should rest, bc he is actually hurting the team in his current form. Man it sucks for Joe Mix but it is what it is

4. Where’s that guy at that set a reminder that I suck because I called out Joe Mixon for sucking at these things? I can’t wait for 7 more weeks to roll around. He told me I shouldn’t be a Bengals fan for saying Mixon isn’t a #1 anymore.

5. Having a back that can help block sure would be helpful. Maybe a WR would have more than a second to try and get open.

6. So we are comparing his pass protection against untouched DTs to RBs who have to pick up a blitzing safety and just pretending the numbers tell the full story? Got it.

7. I saw Perrine run for 6 then get taken our for 1st down shaking his head on the sideline. I know Perine hasn’t had the workload as Mixon but he has outperformed him for sure

8. Even an piss poor RB can look great when the O-line is on point. And, let’s face it, that little amount of money that the Brown family parted with to upgrade the line is not paying off so far. When the O-line performs better, if at all, Mixon will perform better.

9. Maybe double team DEs with an extra TE on occasion too. Might sound crazy, but what do I know? A RB shouldn’t have to block a DT multiple times per possession. If our tackles could prevent even half the pressures, we may be able to make some plays that go for more than 3 yards.
