I will miss Mixon's leadership receiving ability sometimes clutch performances and his nose for the endzone. What I won't miss is his blitz pickup worst RB we ever had with that.
Bengals praised for RB moves

Mixon was one of the worst backs in the league the last couple of seasons at YAC and ease of going down (yards over expected). Moss was upper tier in those same areas and excels in the very balance and hard to tackle areas Mixon was struggling with. Moss is also a better system fit as Mixon really wants to be in a wide zone offense a la Todd Gurley as opposed to a power gap scheme like the Bengals.

Whenever the Bengals ran that stretch play, he was always so indecisive and failed to pick a hole and go with it. Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations -Frank Booth 1/9/23

Some are upset as Mixon was a long time Bengal, but I think that they were smart to cut ties a season too early, rather than a season too late. Love the Zack Moss addition myself. Best Shotgun RB last season so he fits like a glove, runs well out of the Shotgun and pass protects well and is harder to tackle than Mixon and the turf monster isn't always getting him. Need to add a RB or two in the Draft though, as much as I like Trayveon as a ST'er he hasn't been anything special as a RB. Evans has some weird thing between his ears or something. Braelon Allen, Trey Benson, Jonathan Brooks, Isaac Guerrendo, Tyrone Tracy, Kamani Vidal... There are lots of RB's in this Draft that could really push us over the top with our running game. BTW, I think Mixon will do well in Houston with their Offensive scheme while Moss will thrive in ours, great for all sides.

Maybe he's just in love with getting to the edge and turning it because he does indeed go right past holes trying to gain the corner.

I read that he was a possible consideration in the middle rounds.

We also met with Estime. In fact I think we attended his pro day.
