On the other hand, you have Mixon, who we paid big time money, Pollack who will be coordinating the run game, and you also want to protect Burrow's knee and hold true to the AFCN formula of running (or at least being balanced).

Imo, the dumping of Gio and the talk of getting Mixon involved in the passing game is probably a sign that Zac still heavily favors passing, and they want to justify Mixon's contract in other ways, as they know he won't be taking 300 carries.

The devil's advocate take here is that if Mixon breaks some big gains and/or takes it to the house with better blockers/scheme, this will be a moot point. Even the most pass happy coaches ever will ride the hot hand. Kinda like Nawlins does when Kamara is going off.
