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.

Also top ranked RB in the NFL running from shotgun and one of the best at getting extra yards (after contact). By contrast Mixon was one of the worst at that the past couple of seasons. Moss is a totally different type of RB than Mixon and IMHO a far better scheme fit for us.
