RB Stable with Mixon Gone

[Joelist]

The RB room was in dire need of an overhaul and it got one.

Mixon had reached the end of his rope here. Not just the inability to pass block but the constant failure to either make the first defender miss or break the first tackle. He left a goodly large amount of yards and points on the field courtesy to going down easily to solo tackle attempts. And his running style which favors the edge is not compatible with the OL strengths which point to inside running.

Enter Zack Moss. Upper Tier in pass protection, Upper Tier also in Yards After Contact. Actually hard to bring down and churns out extra yards. I'll GLADLY trade a bit of top end speed for those traits. His running style also aligns well with our offense. Chase Brown meanwhile is our "lightning" and this season I am hoping they blend him in better to the scheme.

Not sure about Trayveon Williams if he sticks but I think Chris Evans may be the cut. My long odds special is Noah Cain makes the team - he is basically a hammer and a good compliment to the others.
