That's what I'm thinking. Don't make it a major part of the game plan just another wrinkle.
Picture this. 3 wide Burrow in shotgun with Chase on one side of him and Mixon on the other. Let Burrow do what he does best, read the defense.
If the D lines up with a favorable match up for a pass play use the WRs to clear out the underneath coverage and send Chase out on a wheel route with Mixon either in the opposite flat or leak him just past the line as a safety outlet.. Chase will most likely be matched up against a LB which he will win 99% of the time.
If you get a light front crash the line to Mixon's side and run an option. If Burrow sees the D flow to Mixon's side pull the ball and pitch it to Chase on the back side or Burrow could even keep it and use Chase as a lead blocker.
