I will say that I've seen a LOT of people jumping on the Perine wagon and supporting him starting over or at least getting more snaps than Mixon, so I don't think this is Mixon apologist heaven.  

Personally, I'd love to see them really mix it up between both backs in running and passing plays, and I want to see a fresh-legged Mixon ready to do some damage after watching Perine grind the past few games, and Perine continue to punish the defense with these guys ready to put the losing to the Browns to bed for once and all.  I look at the interesting possibilities this all presents more than the competition (which isn't how anyone on this current team seems to react anyway).

All of this. 

What we don't need is another opening drive turnover by the offense. We've done it three times in a row. You lose a possession and let them score, it's easier for them to play their brand of football.

Reader being back will help.
