This is about RESULTS on a football field. Not on a track in a straight line. This isn't 1945 where a 40 yard dash is what people should be focussing on because that's all there is to go off of. It's the age of information we're in. There's a ton of info supporting me, where is yours? You're bringing a 40 yard dash from March 2017 to the table..... and then what?
On field data shows that YES, the Bengals are more explosive with Moss & Brown platooning than they would be with Mixon & Brown. This isn't even close and I haven't even touched on yards after contact and TFL data.
Again your data (amount of long runs) is more scheme and OL dependent so its useless when measuring "explosiveness". Like I said Audric Estime had more explosive runs than any RB in this year's draft class but he is not an explosive player.
Edit: I like Moss he wins with excellent vision and contact balance which is a hell of alot more important than speed for a RB in a gap scheme.
