31st in yards per carry though. 

Pretty easy to load the box when you have a backup QB behind center.

I want at least 50 fewer carries for Mixon and 50 more for Brown- at a minimum.

Based on what? Brown had 179 yards and the same YPC as Mixon.

Speed. Brown is blazing fast. On that 40 yard run Mixon had yesterday, Chase Brown scores. More carries on first down and Brown is going to make some big plays.

You guys been talking to my wife lol? She is not a Mixon fan at all but loves Brown. Mixon does the dirty work behind a slightly above average OL in my opinion.

I like Joe and I hope he stays around for another year or 2.  Maybe less as an every down back he wants to be, but more as a situational guy.    He was really good when taking screen passes.  If he could do that on 2nd or 3rd and medium downs, he'd still be a very valuable player.

Give him the the key to the city!

Joe at the UK game today, huge with for the Cats!

What does 2024 have in store for Joe Mixon?  I thought he had a great year for the Bengals.

I like the face of the city having a cross on it.

I like Mixon but they needed to get more explosive at the RB spot. Mixon yards per carry hasn’t been great, doesn’t really break big runs even when he does get to the second level, plus struggles in pass blocking. I love his passion and energy, but I think the Bengals saved money and possibly will end up better overall at the RB spot with Moss and Brown.

The face of the city is Burrow.

I was being sarcastic.

futurecoach summed it up well.  I think Mixon still has a future in the league but he doesn't fit with what the Bengals want to move to.  I wouldn't be shocked to see him end up in Nashville.  The league has shifted to young, cheap, interchangeable running backs.  

Now apparently not released but traded to Houston.
