A stud RB fixes a bunch of problems

Everyone will struggle behind this line and scheme.

Bengals' YPC since 2014 in chronological order:

4.4, 3.9, 4.0, 3.6, 4.7, 3.9, 4.1, 4.0, 3.8, 4.0.

One outlier...2018's 4.7 YPC. The rest are rather pedestrian, regardless of staff and even who was toting the rock. The ones pointing to IOL seem to be correct. Even with Zeitler and Boling, you had that turd Bodine getting shoved into everyone's laps.

Wish Tobin had common sense like this...

Stop embarrassing yourself Lucius.  Mixon was not good last year, or the year before, especially compared to this season in his new offense.  Moss isnt good in this offense either.

You arguing the wrong thing and look stupid doing it.  I dont have a lot of tolerance for ignorance, so if you cant grasp the original comment, which was about the offense - not comparing Mixon & Moss, just move along and make a dumb argument about someone else's comment that you do not comprehend.

This^ and ownership didnt want to pay him for whatever reasoning (age, production, off-field issues).  Great reasoning to move on as far as they are concerned.

We had a stud rb. His career was “bunglized”.

There is no doubt in my mind, that Mixon, if drafted to a half decent franchise, that catered to his style of play, would have been a HALL OF FAMER. Barring no significant injury. Yes, i said it.

Look at the numbers hes putting up on a different team, at 28 years old. A 28 year old RB is considered old as dirt.

A stud running backs does nothing for you in the nfl. A stud RUNNING SCHEME does indeed fix alot of problems for you in the nfl.

How many “stud RBs” did new england have? None, you could plug in any RB buried on their depth and they were effective.

Frank pollacks job security is more secure than marvin lewis and fort knox combined.

I’m your Mixon binocular guy. All these things are true. Mixon has a better line and is responding. The Bengals were tired of his off field issues but that was minor. He limited them with his blocking. He was older. They want more explosiveness and went with Chase Brown. Moss was insurance. They saved money. End of story.

Mixon is having a good time running in a scheme suited to his skills - we predicted that. The problem is Zac's "scheme" is both OL unfriendly and makes effective running difficult. We don't run enough and are in the gun too much was well as being utterly predictable. It loads the deck against the linemen and the RB.

Joe Mixon 12/86 with 6:41 left second quarter. Herbie “Mixon looks the best in 7 years” lol

I’m good no reason to be triggered. Mixon says great things about Cincy. Did you hate on people supporting Whit?
