This Is Why the Cincinnati Bengals Signed Zack Moss 

Colts fan here. Moss is an animal. Great signing.

Joe mixon was not bad last hr 1400 all purpose yards behind that o line and 12 touchdowns this was a cap saving move to sign other free agents joe was a great team leader and motivated the fans and off field involvement in the community most Bengals fans are sad he's gone.

I just hope the Bengals run blocking improves so this guy can flourish.

People are looking at Mixon with rose-colored glasses in these comments. He was usually reliable in short yardage situations and doesn't really fumble, but he's bad in pass protection and was ranked near the bottom in the category of runs for 20+ yards. It's not smart to spend $6.5M on a guy like that, especially when you can get a guy who's younger, has less "wear" (has about 3-4 seasons LESS NFL carries), is much better in pass pro, and can create longer runs from shotgun, a formation the Bengals love to run out of for whatever reason. It makes all the sense in the world to move on from Mixon.

“Who really cares about 1.5 million dollars?” Uhh Mike Brown

ZACK MOSS IS SO GOOD LET’S GOO!!!

As a Bengal fan I loved Mixon but he couldn't pass block. This move was purely to get similar production but have a guy that can stay in and protect burrow not have to be taken off the field on 3rd down.

Let’s go, back to back bengals content 🤩

Bengals Coaches need to get a fken grip terrible af blocking scheme and kept blaming Mixon, can’t keep blaming Mixon when your OL scheme are so trash..trying to run zone concept with a power OL then when you run Power OL they look like shit and get bully..Bengals coaches need to fken get a grip, 11 personnel and running from shotgun..smh

The Colts has a great offensive line. The bengals line ranks 26th. You'll get no production from moss with that horrendous line.

This has less to do with off the field stuff than you give it credit for young fella. You guys outlined the reasoning perfectly. Joe costs more, Joe not as effective out of shotgun, Joe is no longer breaking tackles like before. But ultimately Joe has never been a good pass protector. Bengals cannot afford to have quality pass protectors in the offense for multiple reasons.

Off the field issues???? I'm going to leave this alone. Good luck to you Mixon.

OFF FIELD ???? THE CITY LOVES JOE MIXON !!! MAYBE YOU MISSED THE ENERGY HE BROUGHT NO MATTER WHAT THE SEASON WAS LOOKING LIKE , THE SMILES HE ALWAYS SEEMED TO PLAY WITH !!!! HE HAD A SINGLE OFF FIELD ISSUE THAT HE WAS CLEARED OF , SO IT WASN'T AN ISSUE !! STOP THE FALSE NARRATIVE, THIS HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING " OFF FIELD " ... 5.2 ypc in 11 personnel out of shotgun (which Burrow loves) for Moss as well as a 35-40 point better pass blocking grade ..

I'm a big Mixon fan but this just feels like a smart pickup for a guy who fits the role. esp if he can duplicate what he did as a starter last season with Indy. I don't know the Colts On-line well but they seem to be a pretty stout run blocking unit. Cincy's line is just okay.

Mixon had one off field issue since joining the Bengals, and it wasn’t an issue… he was cleared of any wrongdoing. Do your homework. He will be missed

20% exposure on underdog in the 170s… hyped

Joe was a very dependable back. He's just lost a couple of steps.

It’s all about saving money for uno next year

just bought him for the 2.07... hoping hes good!

The Bengals front office, the city, and Mike Brown all LOVE Joe Mixon. This was a purely business (productivity and cost) decision. The bengals being “over the Joe Mixon off field experience” could not have had less to do with this move. Literally zero effect on their decision

You keep referencing the "Joe Mixon off-field experience." Can you elaborate? What exactly has Mixon done off the field that has been a distraction?

Q Nelson blocked 4 ppl on one of those plays around 1 minute time stamp !!! Bengals don't have that.

Zac Moss can pass block MUCH better than Mixon as well

I thought for sure it was Brown to the moon until Cincy signed Moss

Chase Brown could end up the starter. Moss is good rb but I don't think hes on Joe Mixon kind of a level of a player and the colts probably have the best oline in the nfl. Doesn't matter who was back there they had lanes to run around. Moss is more of just a back up rb. He was never very good on the bills not until he got to run behind colts great oline then ya he was good. I expect the bengals to end up finding a rb through trade or free agency this year. Bengals should of not been cheap and went after Barkley or Pollard.

So if zack moss doesnt play well im coming back to this video😂

Moss has 1 decent yr out of 6. He did absolutely nothing in Buffalo. I dont like this pick up. Staying with mixon would have been the better option

Mixons 30 pff pass blocking grade vs Moss's 60. Nuff said

they took moss because he is better at pass blocking...mixon is better at everything else

I want Evan's to play more ..

Mixon off field experience?? What off field issue does he have?? Pull it up!! Stop with the slander and defamation claims

WHAT OFF THE FIELD ISSUES???Mixon was the energy for our locker room...Yal just make up anything

I have to watch some footage of moss but unless he is the 2nd coming of Barry Sanders I'm not really happy with the move. No mixon doesn't break off a bunch of 50 and 60 yard runs but in an offense that doesn't run a ton and a division that demands toughness, he constantly grinds out 3, 5, 8, 15, yards, especially when you need it at the end of the game when you have the lead. Team captain and good locker room guy. Moss may be a good player for the Bengals, but I know Mixon was a good player and I don't think breaking up the continuity to save 1.5 million is worth it, especially for a guy you're probably only gonna keep for a year anyway. This team went to the superbowl and then the afc championship game. They didn't take a step backwards last year because of mixon. They took a step back because Burrow was either injured or trying to play through injuries last year. Funny observation also. For a position that we've been told is easily replaceable, most of the biggest headlines have been the movement of the running backs. Philly and Baltimore and Houston are all being praised for picking up guys that we've been told are not worth the money.

Joe Mixon was bad last year, he has no tread left on the tires. Zack Moss is a year younger and 1100 carries less in his career. Paying Mixon a high tier contract would be insane.

Has Joey B announced what injury he will go with this next season?

fumble!

5 minutes in 30 yard run against Baltimore? Joe Mixon would never

He will probably be hurt by week 10 in this division

Joe Mixon is awful. No team was ever worried about what he would do in a game. He had like four touchdowns in a game where Joe Burro did most of the work and he just ran it in from 5 yards. He never gets any runs over 5 yards. He runs into his offensive lineman every play. He trips on the plays. He doesn't run into them. 🎉🎉🎉 bye bye joe

Bungles will suck next season, lol They should just tank and get a pick in the next draft.

Chase Brown will be RB1 by week 4. I wish Mixon well. He was a team leader.
