I just found this from PFF bengals from 4 months ago, when we signed him.

Zack Moss in 2023:

4.3 YPC
793 rushing yards
64.8% of total yards after contact
36 missed tackles forced
65.5 pass-blocking grade (11th among RBs)

So not the best, but significant improvement from Mixon (from a pass blocking perspective). I still think RB is overall a meh position group room. but if we can average 4+ YPC, be less predictable on offense and help protect Joe burrow, I don’t know how that isn’t a holistic upgrade.

I was also listening to a fantasy podcast earlier this week. Don’t be surprised if Mixon has his best season ever. He is going to a team with an objectively better OL that runs more zone running, which fits him better.

It’s crazy how sometimes teams try and force a square peg into a round hole. It really comes down to talent and scheme fit, especially at that position.
