I'm hoping they sort of take it easy on Joe early in the season, somewhat limit his touches. Let Perine and Evans carry the rock a good bit and save Joe for the last part of the season and beyond. 

Good point. Save Mixon for the end of the year when it gets cold and teams are battling injuries and have to try and bring down a healthy Mixon.

Keep them off-balance with Chase, Higgins, Boyd, Hurst, Perine, and Evans, and then give Mixon 15 to 20 carries a game and hope that fresh Mixon at the end of games just destroys them.

But you also need to think that Mixon won't take quite the beating he did last season because of better blocking and defenses having to respect that Joe will have time to drop back and throw, meaning that they can't load the box.

Woe woe woe............. don't even joke about that!

The only way that'd work is if Burrow just hi-jacked the offense every game and broke his ear piece.

Same thing I was thinking...........

You know he won't have a problem finding something to criticize!
