There's a big change in the backfield in the Queen City this offseason—after seven seasons in Cincinnati (and four 1,000-yard seasons), veteran running back Joe Mixon was dealt to the Houston Texans.

The team replaced Mixon with fifth-year pro Zack Moss, who logged just under 1,000 total yards on 210 touches a year ago in Indianapolis. Per Laurel Pfahler of the Dayton Daily News, Moss understands that he has big shoes to fill.

"I've never been in a position where you come in after a guy who's had so much success and means so much to the fanbase," Moss said. "I mean, I remember watching Joe, just throughout the league, college and stuff like that. So, you know, definitely, I think it is big shoes to fill in that sense of things. But like I said, my job is not to worry about the past and things like that, it's to go out there and do my job at a high level, and whatever my job looks like, that's what I'm trying to do and be as consistent as I can be at that."

Youngster Chase Brown will figure into the mix as well, but Moss showed last year with the Colts that he can be a lead back—he averaged a respectable 4.3 yards per carry and topped 100 total yards in three of eight starts.
