RB Stable with Mixon Gone

[Whatever]

"Explosive runs" is just another term for long runs it doesn't have anything to do with speed. In fact it says alot more about the Colts #3 OL and run scheme.

For reference Audric Estime had more "explosive runs" than any other running back in the draft cycle but he is not a fast player.

This whole discussion is just mind blowing...

Mixon has plenty of faults, being overpaid chief among them.  He was still a proven bellcow, perennial 1k RB, and a former Pro Bowler.  I don't think he was a good scheme fit for Zac's offense, however.

Moss is a perennial 300-400 yard back who has been cut once already in his career and had an outlier 700+ yard campaign in a contract year behind an elite OL.  

Being real, Moss isn't a Joe Mixon replacement.  Moss is Samaje Perrine's replacement a year late.  They are gambling that Brown is going to replace Mixon.
