Temper your expectations

He will play if he performs well and there is a need.. no real evidence that the Bengals just sit rookies because they are rookies... many variables go into playing rookies.. besides would you rather we just play rookies regardless of anything else ?

I believe the biggest test to decide how much Mixon plays this season will be his ability to pick up blitz and block for Andy... if he is subpar in this area, does not matter how great a runner he is, that will limit his playing time.
