I agree, but I swear I remember going through this same thing last pre-season. I'm almost positive I remember it being a talking point on sports radio last year and it ended up working fine.
FWIW, they seem to be calling the running game very vanilla. Everything looks (to my untrained eye, at least) like a straight ahead run between the tackle and guard. No counters, no sweeps, nothing to the outside... couple this with them continuing to keep Mixon out of games and I wonder if maybe they aren't keeping their cards hidden?
