I hate this for the young man who came to Cincinnati and shed a checkered past and grew into a professional. I really don't think the charges match because we'd have known weeks ago "If" charges were warranted. Its the powers that be that try to tarnish reputations. Now I will say that this coming out now sort of makes it easier for a team to cut ties and move away before drafting a replacement in 20+ days... I'm just saying lets give Mix his due process plz before jumping to anymore conclusions outside the court of law.

Yeah I feel for him too. I was hoping to see him put it all together and have a great year at some point.
He never did. 
You can definitely blame the oline some.
But it is what it is.
The lack of success has obviously caused his mental health to spiral as otherwise none of this would have happened.
It's tough to see.

But as an organization we have to move on.
He's getting old anyway (for a RB).
And he's simply not very versatile.

I don't want to bring in another aging back.
I'd like to see the team draft one or two backs this year.


Right now without Mixon it's our weakest position along with tight end.
