Really good value and 3 down guy. Nice!
RE: Bengals sign Moss - FormerlyBengalRugby - 03-11-2024
Initially thought Thedeous Moss and threw up in my mouth...
Much better news
RE: Bengals sign Moss - THE PISTONS - 03-11-2024
He's more a #2. Did good while Taylor held out.
He was basically a top 5 back over that span.

Not a big fan of this signing.. small back and not much in the WR game. i understand saving on Mixon but hoped we do a bit better between tackles and a step down in passing game.. but at least we did not spend too much.. hope we draft a RB in 3rd/4th

Not only did he have good production but he blocked very well and even catches well enough though not a threat. He's good value and hitting his prime, what's not to like. He's their starter and they may even ger a solid value signing on the next wave even. Draft class isn't ideal so having RB out of the way would be nice. Love then money saved from Mixon.
RE: Bengals sign Moss, Cut Mixon - Soonerpeace - 03-12-2024
It’s this… They aren’t 100% sure Chase is good enough but Moss is insurance. If Chase is good enough then Moss is a solid goaline, short yardage,and third down back for blocking. They thought it through

Yep, think Gio Bernard with an extra 20# of muscle.

The YAC is a big one. You can knock Mixon over with a feather.

223? I looked him up and he was 5-9, 205?
RE: Bengals sign Moss, Cut Mixon - XenoMorph - 03-12-2024
Aaron jones was available
RE: Bengals sign Moss, Cut Mixon - Whacked - 03-12-2024
Decent signing although we may miss Mixon’s hands / usefulness w catches a bit.
That said, if we don’t fix this OLine - Barry Sanders wouldn’t get it done.
RE: Bengals sign Moss, Cut Mixon - Joelist - 03-12-2024
We went from the worst YAC back in the league who almost never made the first defender miss or broke a tackle to one of the best at exactly those items (I think Mo Egger noted he ranked 5th in the league in yards over expectation). He is a hard to bring down power runner who works very well inside, is a good pass blocker and thrives in short yardage down and distance. We're getting him at age 26 but more importantly without a lot of wear on the treads. This is an upgrade at RB flat out and a better fit for the scheme to boot.
