We'll probably just punch him up the middle and hopefully knock the defense out.
You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.

Nice to see him signed, I'd imagine him and Ross would be the two hardest to get done. Although it is all slotted now.

So that's 10 of the 11
Is Malone the only one left? or is it Willis?

4 years, 5 million for a potential stud RB. I love the rookie wage scale.
Now that Mixon is under contract, I fully expect him to hit the girl ground running.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.

LOVE it........
Mixon's an absolute stud and will be a game-changer for us.
We've had some good backs in our history (Icky, Rudi, Corey, etc.), but I think he has the potential to be the best and most complete back because he can do it all in that he has a mixture of speed and power, breakaway ability, route running/receiving ability, patience, etc..
I actually think patience could be a weakness for him, though, because I don't think our line will be able to open massive holes or hold the holes they do open for very long, and Mixon seems like he likes to wait to make his move instead of just running downhill.
However, if we get him running fast and hard all the time, he's going to be A HELL OF A BACK!

I know certain fans may not like Mixon but he is a Bengal for the next four years and maybe longer. The kid is going to be getting hassled big time by opposing teams fans at away games until he retires...he don't need to be hassled by his own teams fans.
Let's give it a rest please.

Meh, I did some dumb shit when I was that age, that I still get grief over 23 years later. In my circle of friends, if you ain't gettin' ribbed over shit, someone is pissed off at you!

That is the ONE THING I didn't want Mixon to do: establish a friendship with Pacman motha******g Jones! That dude is a toxic waste. I pray to all that is holy Mixon doesn't hang out with Pacman for long. It's not a matter of "if" Pacman screws up again, but a matter of "when". And if Mixon is there when it all goes down...

I honestly could care less if anyone hassles him, whether our own fans or elsewhere.
But if it makes some of my fellow fans happy by not seeing him called names like slugger, I will try my best to refrain from calling him that in here to not upset anyone.

I hope that was fake news with slugger, err Mixon and Pacman hanging out together. That should be in his contract that under no circumstance he is to be near Pacman outside the stadium area unless its a charity event.

He does, great stiff arm RB. Better than any other back in this class and the best vision of any of them.

Yeah Brad, i agree. We actually might be a better run blocking O-line this year with a healthy Boling and Andre instead of Zeitler.

Myself as well. It's all part of growing up. This kid will be fine.
