First Play Of The Season?

Say we win the toss and elect to take the ball.  The kickoff goes out-of-bounds and we get the ball at the 25.

What's your first play?  

The traditional handoff to Mixon off-tackle?

Drop back pass from Burrow with 7 to 10 yard routes?

Do you go big with a play-action fake to Mixon and then unload a deep ball to Chase?

That last one has my vote to start the new era off right!  Think about how pumped that would get the fanbase!

The possible downsides to that, obviously, are an incomplete pass and we start off with no momentum, an interception, or Burrow gets sacked.  

It would obviously depend on how well our line comes together in the offseason to find out whether or not we'd trust them, but I think the upside of that would outweigh the possibility of an incompletion.  

What if our first play comes after they punt on their first series and we get the ball at our own 40 or the 50?  

Or we stop them but end up with the ball on our own 25?

What if they score first?

Run, Mixon behind Carman for a 6 yard gain.
