Geoff says Mixon will get 15-20 carries week 1

[Shake n Blake]

RB is a position that is relatively easy to transition from college to pro. The toughest thing to pick up is said to be blocking, and Mixon is already a pretty polished blocker. I don't take Hobson's word as Gospel, but I wouldn't shrug it off, either. Dude is the mouthpiece of the team, so he doesn't talk out of his ass often.

Mixon needs a shot. Regardless of some trying to convince us of otherwise, Hill has been pretty awful and the run game as a whole is in desperate need of a jolt.
