Mixon seems to be one of the forums whipping boys;
1. Volson
2. Mixon
3. Scott (ranked worst among starting safeties so deserved)
4. Sample
It is interesting as I think Mixon is a good RB. One thing we seem to ignore is ball security. I don't want to jinx Joe, but he one of the best RB's protecting the football. Fumbles kill drives and turnovers lose games.I
Sample's main role os to block. I believe he is the #1 TE blocking in football, it is not just our OL that protects Joey B. it is our TE's and RB's also. Nice to see Sample get a TD. His running is not pretty, but got it done last night.
I loved Volson's block on Hyde last night when Hyde was trying to push Mixon back. He also had a great block (double team) on the Mixon TD.
Scott helped create the Kincaid fumble. I think Scott is our weakest starter, but he made a play last night.
One last point on Mixon, he did what many would never do, he took a pay cut and then he has not pouted or played less hard. Joe runs hard, we need to respect that about him.

I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
