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. 

I've never sat down and figured out statistics for it but it seems like he usually sits the rookies.  Unless they really stink like Bodine.  Burfict is the exception.
