We don't need to force Mixon to have 300+ carries to run a lot. Give Mixon 250 carries and "mix in" the other RB's more.
One thing I've always noticed about the Bengals is that we seem to utilize our backup RB's less than other teams.
I want to see Perine get (at least) 100+ carries this year, and 50+ for the guys behind him.
People often think of the 2009 team as revolving around CedBen...but they forget that Bernard Scott, Larry Johnson and Brian Leonard combined to chip in 147 carries of their own. We haven't done that often enough. Perine only had 5 carries last game. I'd like to see a little more than that from him going forward. Maybe 8-10 carries.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
