If you turn him into the situational back, it kind of tips the defense as to what's coming by personnel package. I might be more comfortable with this, if the Bengals OL takes that next step and can just line up and say "Yeah, we're going to run it down your throat. Try to stop us.".
Mixon isn't a 3 down back either though so the point is moo. Last year Semaje played the majority of 3rd downs and Mixon was 1st and 2nd down. We pass the majority of the time anyways so regardless of what back is in there its not like they'll do completely different schemes.
