Give Mixon enough carries to get 100 yards or more rushing anyway. We are weak at WR and TE. A good running game does 2 things. It makes it easier for our crippled and injured passing attack. It also keeps Brees off the field. Nobody giving Bengals much of a chance of winning. If Mixon gains 100 yards or more, that doubles the Bengals chances of winning. I think there is some stat that in Bengals History, In games where a Bengals runner gains 100 yards, the winning % is over 70 % wins. So Mixon gaining 100 yards rushing would help.
Win or lose, I want to see Price back out there. We were 2-0 with him in there. He can flat out block. He is our #1 Draft Pick. Could also use the other #1 pick to step up with Green out, Ross.
