Threat to the backfield. A RB that can hit the crease
And simply outrun the defense at the 2nd and 3rd levels.
Mixon was never that can kind of RB..how many career runs of 30 yd plus runs does he have for his career?
The Bengals for so Long have lack that explosion element
At RB. They have had RBs that can get you 70 80 yds a game. But it takes them 20 to 26 carries to accumulate that. Plus Mixon is a poor judge of hitting the correct hole
Or making the right read in front of him.
Combine that with his lackadaisical approach to pass blocking, he deserves a pay cut or to be cut altogether

The challenge is finding a RB who is both a home run threat but also a good pass blocker.
Usually the guys who are better pass blockers are the bigger dudes who don't pick up big chunks of yards.
