Bengals want to make Mixon the “Bell cow” back

[*ochocincos*]

I think giving Mixon 20+ carries should be fine as long as Gio is still getting 10-15 touches. However, the only way I see that happening (especially with the current state of the Bengals OL) is to use Gio more as a receiver with Mixon also on the field. But with the state of the pass catchers on this team, I'd be in favor of getting both Gio and Mixon on the field at the same time.

EDIT - Good tandem to mimic for the above idea is Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen.
Jordan Howard - 299 touches (276 rush +23 rec)
Tarik Cohen - 140 touches (87 rush +53 rec)
