For me, it is pretty simple:
Although I see the rational of having Mixon be a focus in the game plan, I don't want the Bengals to come out and run three times against a fired up Raider defense. They will have energy at the start of the game. I want Burrow to eat underneath, move the chains, sustain a drive....mix in (Mixon, get it?) a few runs here and there, but avoid running in to a fired up line and giving up a possession.
This is Burrow's team and he needs to be in control.
Use the run game when you get up by a couple scores and their defense is starting to get worn out.
Yours?
