I see no reason to think that will change. Mixon will get more carries than Bernard, but Bernard will still get 100 to 150.
This is the reason... "Bengals player personnel director Duke Tobin said that Mixon will be the lead running back next season, and they plan to lean on him heavily." This would indicate the Bengals plan to go back to the way they split the load for the first 10 games. Mixon had 104 carries to Gios 31. I hope you're right and they split carries more evenly. I think Gio is underutilized as it is. He needs to be getting his 15 touches a game for him and this offense to be most effective.
