Arthur Smith came from the Titans, and his two seasons as OC for them were the two best years Derrick Henry has had.
Smith runs a run-heavy offense.
For better comparison:
Falcons - 91 rushing attempts (8th in league), 4.2 YPC (13th in league)
Bengals - 58 rushing attempts (2nd to last in league), 3.6 YPC (25th in league)
Would Robinson be better than what the Bengals have now? I think most would say yes.
Would he average 5.5 YPC like he's averaging in ATL and be 7th in the league in rushing yards? I don't think so.
Bijan is an excellent pass catching back which would fit with Burrow.
His young legs burst would also help. (likely have more long runs than Mixon)
I agree that Bijan would have a better yards per carry with Arthur Smith but I would expect a helpful improvement in
yards per carry for the Bengals if Bijan came to Cincinnati.
I also think that Defenses would worry about Bijan a little more than they do Mixon. (I still respect Mixon but he will be 28 next July)
