I have little doubt you have more "inside info" than most of us and I appreciate what you share. But there's a big difference between telling Pernine his role is not going to change and saying the team has stated Mixon will be RB1.
I personally hope Mixon is not guaranteed RB1 on this team. With ZERO inside info, I have a feeling if Mixon hadn't gotten himself caught up in a couple "scraps" this off-season we would have parted ways. I feel like they're just holding onto him out of support.
Joe Mixon is 300 yards from becoming the Bengals’ third leading rusher, and 1,100 yards away from becoming the second leading rusher. He’s not the flashiest runner, but you can’t argue with the results behind some horrible offensive lines. He’s the best RB we’ve had since Corey Dillon. RB1 should be Mixon’s job to lose.
