Quote:He is very similar to Yeldon imo. A little more speed but not a homerun threat. I know you guys are down on yeldon but he's pretty talented
Quote:Honestly kinda agree with the caveat that I think yeldon plays just a little too slow to be a feature back in the NFL.
Mixon plays a good amount faster.
Quote:You know, I got the same impression watching Mixon.
I'm not as down on Yeldon as most around here are, but I think Mixon plays a bit faster. He also gets his pad level lower when hitting a crease.
He's quicker to get north and south than Yeldon - and I think that's a weakness in Yeldon's game. He waits too long for a gaping hole sometimes instead of hitting the small crease with conviction.
Mixon is what Yeldon was SUPPOSED to be
Quote:I doubt Mixon does much better in the same defunct system sharing sporadic carries with Ivory and never being fed like a RB should be.
I personally think he would do way better. I guess we will find our. Yeldons longest run of the entire year was like 15 yards. Even when there was some room he couldn't make anything happen. Even Corey Grant with the same blocking had a much better game than Yeldon had in 2years.
Quote:Speaking of equality. I don't recall ever seeing any uproar about Hope Solo captaining your women's team to the 2015 World Cup despite beating up badly her niece and half sister, in fact she was only banned from USA for moaning at a coach, how come that's allowed?
Single because I use logic?
A ) statement is not even true.
B ) you're only argument is a PR nightmare and who cares if the kid could ball and stays out of trouble?
Isn't that his only offense anyway?
I mean, Yeldon and Mixon are comparable in that they are both all around skilled...but that's kinda where it ends. Yeldon is just an average athlete who is far too often on the wrong side of the patience/hesitant tightrope. Mixon is more than just a bit better of an athlete.
