Mixon has to get better with his pass pro.

For sure, I would start Perine against the Chiefs.

We've been doing that consistently since Marvin's days.
2 series for RB 1, followed by a spell drive by the #2 back.
Obviously situational football changes that a little bit, but it is still something we're doing.
As to the OP, lest not forget that Burrow had more rushing yards than Henry entering the second half of the game.

Should follow the Belichick model. Have 3 guys. Whoever is playing best gets the carries while the other 2 watch and spell, so if you wanna eat, you better bring your fork.

Actually, no it isn't. They rotated Gio in on a lot of third downs, regardless of what series it was. They have done the same for Perine. To me, that made it too predictable, as it almost always signaled pass.
I loved that Burrow (probably Zac and Callahan) ran a pass play out of the run-heavy, extra OT formation. They have done that twice now, and both times for big gains.
I still miss my old favorite, the TE screen. I would love to see the passionate Hurst running that one.

Careful there, you're going to use up all the exclamation marks and then Brad won't be able to make any new threads.
