Zack Moss is a FAR better pass protector than Mixon, runs hard, breaks tackles (which Mixon did not), makes defenders miss (which Mixon did not) and fits the scheme well.

Don't see how Zack Moss moves the needle one way or the other. Same percentage of runs over 10 yards. Slightly less ball security. Slightly less as a receiver out of the backfield. Same yards/carry. Doesn't know the system. So, basically better at pass protector, which I admit is very important for this team. But this was largely a lateral move, one taken by the Bengals to save the $3 million due Mixon as a roster bonus should he still be on the team on March 18.
So, saves money, which may be important for other signings, but by itself not a move that makes one say the Bengals are now better.
