Rank our RBs (2024)

[Joelist]

We'll be better than some expect.

Moss is a different type of RB than Mixon with different strengths. He is not so much about speed and home runs as he is about breaking the first tackle / making the first defender miss, pass protection and balance - he stays on his feet. Goodberry upon careful tape study said he reminds somewhat of Rudi Johnson. I agree. Expect Moss to get plenty of carries.

Chase Brown is the "lightning" in the backfield. He needs to work on his pass protection and tackle breaks but he is a home run threat every time he gets the ball. Unlike Moss Brown likes the edge but he also is plenty fast enough to gain it.

Trayveon Williams is a known quantity. When healthy he is a reliable spot duty back. The one I think will be gone is Chris Evans. In my upset special I have the Bengals going with Noah Cain as RB4 because he is a bruising power back.

Expect the Bengals run game to look different not just in frequency but HOW they run too. This RB group suggest much more inside work and using power schemes which also play into what our lineman like to do - block downhill.
