Mixon

[barkingwater2000]

Nobody needs anything spelled out, least of all from you.

You're wrong. Period. Mixon is a talented young player getting jumped on by 2 and 3 defenders before he hits the LOS. Riley could do a better job getting him the ball in space.

I'm sure you'll reply with a half brained retort because, while you have the right to remain silent, you don't have the ability.

There's a reason the only person who agrees with you is your 'below the bell curve' DNA sharing counterpart.

Funny how the 30 yr old Atari playing "adult" always responds with immature, half witted personal attacks.

Again, your OPINION doesn't mean squat. Calling someone wrong doesn't make it so. Comprende? Now try to focus on the game and the players and try to come up with something readable. Otherwise, go play centipede, millipede, or whatever kinda game you have hooked up. I can't recall because I stopped playing those when I was 12.

If you think Mixon has been getting jumped on by 2 or 3 defenders every time he touches the ball the you are in la la land. He has had opportunities and has just been average. Not saying he isn't talented because I'm sure he is. However, he has yet to live up to the expectations.

Bcs can u please disagree without resorting to childish replies? Geez dude doesn't that ever get old? Discuss things man, analyze games and plays, etc

 

[soonerfastnloud]

The running backs are only as good as the line and vice versa. Wasn't it Switzer who said great ones .make something happen when nothing is there?

Well, I guarantee you the line is the problem. It can't just be a coincidence that all of a sudden Perine can't get yards and Mixon doesn't look like he is all that. The offensive line has to do their job to make this work.

 

[KCtornado]

He's a freshman with a young and underachieving OL in front of him. Get the OL weakness resolved...and more touches for Mixon....and voila a big change will happen. I will cut him some slack. It's deserved.

 

[Yankees03]

I agree the line is terrible. I think what I'm saying is at times when their has been holes made by the line he could have hit the hole harder. Fair enough?

I have rational, mature conversations with rational, mature opposition.

Anyone is free to have an opinion and I'm free to say that opinion is ridiculous and ignorant when it is, in fact, ridiculous and ignorant.

Mixon deserves some of the criticism as well. As Yankee a

BCS I think you will get more respect from others if you can disagree in a civil manner. Try it and see

Murray's production has been shockingly inferior considering his success last season. He has only 47 yards on 29 carries (1.6 avg.) in three games. Those numbers are skewed not only because of the limited number of opportunities, but also because the offensive line has been subpar.
THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM, SUBPAR OFFENSIVE LINE.

Murray plays in the NFL sooner. Its hardly a fair comparison. Bottom line, the line is at fault but Mixon could also do a better job.

Let's face it, we are all pissed off tonight, I feel like punching someone in the face. I hate getting beat by Texas.

I hear ya. What I hate even worse is getting dominated in the trenches and feeling like they just wanted it worse than we did.

 

[soonerfastnloud]

Maybe our players will take some frustrations out on our upcoming tough opponents and play like they want to win.

 

[soonerfastnloud]

When we played Tulsa, we all saw some cracks in the team. I didn't really expect to go undefeated, but Texas beating us is just awful. Where do we go from here?

Well you know OU, they will probably win 10 games and go to a decent bowl only to get their butts whipped by A&M or Clemson. Same story different year

Oh gosh, that nightmare again. That's what I can look forward to. Now I am even more pissed off, need to punch something.

 

[CTOkie]

Moses, All I'm saying is that Mixon doesn't look like the #1 recruit in the nation. He gets tackled easily and doesn't really seem like the difference maker I had hoped he would be. I know the line isn't helping much but he hasn't done much himself either

Mixon had to sit out a year at a bad time in his football career....as an 18 year old incoming freshman, who would have played had he not been foolish that fateful night on Campus Corner. He could not practice and could not attend team meetings. He was completely removed from football.
Now he is playing behind a line that cannot block.....a line that is the weakest of any I have ever seen at OU....and that may include the lines of the teams of the 1990's.
I am giving OU's skill position players a pass this year and until OU can put an offensive line on the field again.

 

[soonerfastnloud]

When you get top linemen, even if you are a decent running back, can be awesome. Like I sad on my other post, Phil Loadholt, Jamal Brown type tackles.

 

[Oklabama]

I haven't looked because I suspect the numbers wouldn't be all that eye popping, but I would be surprised if Mixon's stats aren't pretty close or better than the other backs especially total yards. With less snaps. I could be way off.

 

[soonerfastnloud]

Ok, need some Advil for my brain

 

[Oklabama]

Ha, I can just delete it I guess. Bottom line none of the backs are doing much better than the others. But consider the OL,

 

[Medic007]

Huh. That's weird. I decided to compare Mixon's stats thus far with those of Barry Sanders as a freshman. I'm completely sold on the expertise displayed by barking and yankees. Average back Mixon has 4.8 yards per carry so far. That beats that below average back Sanders at 4.4 yards per carry in his freshman year.

barking and yankees, I just can't fathom why some NFL team hasn't discovered your amazing abilities of talent assessment. Maybe you guys should showcase your talents on other boards as well, you know, go nationwide. Exposure means everything.

 

[Yankees03]

Medic it was discussed by Blevins earlier this week on the animal. Obviously it's something others have noticed as well. Perhaps not underachieving, rather than not running as hard as they would like. As I stated, it all starts with the online. Instead of insulting us and showing your hatred, how about contributing to the topic? Thanks

 

[Schoonerman]

texass didn't have any problem rushing for more than 300+ yards with their two freshman O-lineman. Bottom line is, our O-line is just not very good, regardless of whether they are freshman or seniors, have started 5 games or 35 games. They're just not very good and that makes any back, even the #1 back in the country coming out of high school, look bad.

The problem, to me is not Mixon, Perrine, etc., but the guys who are supposed to be opening the holes for them to run through. The ride from here on out is going to get very bumpy.

I've seen Barry Sanders. Watched most of his games at OSU and the NFL. Medic, Mixon is no Barry Sanders.

BillyRay, I'm pretty sure that most posters here know that Medic's comment in your sig was nothing but levity. It was meant to be ridiculous.

BillyRay, I'm pretty sure that most posters here know that Medic's comment in your sig was nothing but levity. It was meant to be ridiculous.

Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. I know he was on a pretty high pedestal the past month or so about what a moron Strong is and what a sorry coach he is. So I'm sure there was a grain of sincerity to it. But I really just don't get how a few posters on here feel the need to tell others how stupid they are or belittle them as if they are morons or idiots. Nobody is happy by what happened yesterday, so the last thing we need to do is get on here and take it out on each other. I know every week Texas lost this year there were threads here with OU fans laughing and celebrating how OB was in meltdown and fighting each other. Well....looks like Texas is getting the last laugh this time around. I certainly wasn't going to join in the celebration of trashing down Texas until OU went down there and chalked up a win. Pretty foolish to do so beforehand...it's only leads to putting your foot in your own mouth.

I agree with most of what you are saying. The in-fighting is kind of useless. But I loved trashing Texas for all the antics that left us laughing before yesterday, and I'm not making any apologies for it either. I'm still as much a Sooner fan today as I was at 10:00 am on Saturday... no apologies there either. Fans on both sides kick the other when they are down, then get the last laugh. It's like that in all rivalries in every sport. I'm not ashamed of it. It's a lot of fun. Texas fans will walk all over you whether you're a nice guy or a smack talker. They're Texas. We're Sooners. Life goes on. Texas will lose more games. I'll laugh. It's not foolish, it's fun.

Ah, the ever sanctimonious Billy Ray. Let me help you.

1)I access this site through a mobile device and thus can't see your signature so meh, golf clap?

2)The fact that you took the time to use anything that I've posted as your signature is flattering. As your buddies would say, I'm in your head. Obsessing over stuff I post. Shouldn't a guy your age have better things to do?

And finally 3)You posted no evidence to refute my post that your two buddies are not the world beater talent scouts they think they are. Instead, you're a hypocrite trying to call me out for calling them out using a fact. Now what was your rant about?

Seriously, you've got nothing better? I guess I shouldn't be surprised. A shitty Oline and a whopping 33 carries in 5 games and Mixon should be ripping off 100 yard games? And we know he's average with that paltry body of work? Do you guys work to be completely clueless or is it an effortless thing? Seriously question. Do you label a woman a 1 after only seeing her feet?

 

[Medic007]

I've seen Barry Sanders. Watched most of his games at OSU and the NFL. Medic, Mixon is no Barry Sanders.

Uhhhh, barking, let me help you. Did you think Sanders was going to be an NFL legend and NCAA record holder during his freshman season? 4.4 yards per carry. Limited carries. 2 touchdowns. That was 1986.

 

[Yankees03]

Medic has chosen to no longer contribute to soonerscoop(I've seen this happen before). Instead he has chosen the route of following me, barking and perhaps billyray in pathetic attempts to critique every opinion we have if it doesn't follow his way of thinking. Sad yet true. I'll say this again I'm not that important so please open your mind and don't obsess with little ole me. Right now it's more important to him to "attempt" to belittle posters rather than actually talk sports

If Mixon becomes and NCAA record and NFL legend then I'll be more than happy to admit I'm wrong. Right now he doesn't look as good as advertised. Some of it is the line but I haven't seen him make many plays on his own either. Maybe he will get better....lets all hope he lives up to all the billing

Medic why all the personal attacks?

 

[Medic007]

They're just not very good and that makes any back, even the #1 back in the country coming out of high school, look bad.

The problem, to me is not Mixon, Perrine, etc., but the guys who are supposed to be opening the holes for them to run through...

Spot on Schoonerman. When the Oline is being knocked backward on many running plays, it's hard to create holes. Without holes, it's hard to make plays. Perrine was a stud last year. I'm not fooled into thinking he forgot how to run the football during the off season.

 

[BillyRay]

Lol you typed out a huge rant. I can see you are emotional after a tough loss yesterday and having to answer for your idiotic post. But the sun did rise today and life goes on. Don't let it hold you back too much. I know you can get through this...LOL

 

[Medic007]

Medic why all the personal attacks?

What I just posted was a personal attack? It was actually a question. Did you think Sanders was going to be an NFL legend after his freshman season? Seems like you're trying to change the subject rather than produce an honest answer.

Calling people sanctimonious and claiming me and Yankee think we are NFL scouts is an attempt to be demeaning. I consider that a form of a personal attack. Whatever the case, nobody looks at any freshman football players and thinks they are going to be an NFL legend. Did I think that of Sanders? Of course not. I also don't think Sanders was the #1 rated running back in the nation coming out of high school was he? Well, Mixon was and therefore I expected more from him. I guess I was envisioning an elusive type of runner that could make plays on his own. To me it looks like he is more of a power back then needs room to get going. With huge holes I'm sure he will be awesome.
