    Pierce isn't strong enough in there for my taste. We need a big back.

    Mixon's a good player, and will work well with CJ & Co in our offense. Screens/passing game, wide, cutbacks, etc...But, he's not the whole enchilada.

    They'll see a bunch of carries, but, the question remains, WHO is going to run between the tackles?

    I think we need more than that.

    I've lost faith in Pierce.

    Can you risk getting him hurt by using him in short yardage?

    Maybe he'll have to learn to kick left-footed...

    All indications are that Pierce has looked good and done everything in his power to get the issues corrected. But it could be the typical off season positivity. Im willing to ride with Mixon and Pierce and let it play out with a healthier oline. Both have shown they can get it done.
