Too many carries for Mixon

Now week one they say two sacks are on the running backs. Not a good start. I get the wanting to get younger, but we gotta protect Burrow now. Hope to see the young backs improve.

Gio was one of my favorite players.  Most people don't realize how much he really did.  In 2019, the only season where Mixon played all 16 games, Gio still played 40% of the offensive snaps.

But I also felt he was overpaid.  So I did not complain when we released him.

Now that we have not extended Bates I wish we had kept him.
