Chase Brown VS Joe Mixon. The starting job isn’t in jeopardy, or is it?

is very willing to block for his QB while the other one is not. Also, Brown has much better vision and balance than Mixon. You 
just watch, if this OL is opening up holes and our TE's and WR's are blocking down the field a 10 yard gain that Mixon would 
get can turn into a 30 yard gain for Chase Brown.

I just hope the coaches use the more productive RB if Mixon stays. The one thing Mixon has on Brown is he protects the ball
much better. This could be a factor if Chase Brown doesn't have a ton of snaps as a rookie.

Jake Liscow and Joe Goodberry talked about the ball security concern with Chase Brown.
They said on the surface, his fumbles seem like a lot, but he had over 350 touches last year.
On a touches-per-fumble metric, it's actually not too far off some other guys the Bengals have/had.

Also, Mixon fumbled 3 times in just 208 touches his rookie year, and he improved in that area after, so I'm not overly concerned with Chase Brown.
