You think, but his total body of work doesn't suggest he is top 10 or a player that can carry a team when the rushing game sucks. Oh and by the way that 2015 season where he was awesome, the Bengals averaged around rushing 100 yards a game. 1805 rushing yards over 16 games = 112.81 yards.

I could be wrong but think Brady Pats teams have averaged well over 100 yards rushing a game also.
Free Agency ain't over until it is over.
First 6 years BB - 41 wins and 54 losses with 1-1 playoff record with 2 teams Browns and Pats

Driskel enters the fray and puts some zip on the ball.

Nice throw by Driskel. Backups are looking better.

The point is the good rushing game opened the game up for passing. I won't put my money on Andy carrying the team when they can't run like I have seen top 5 QBs do when needed. His career stats, not just one season, suggest he can't. I do hope as a fan he will improve to that level though. Anyway this is getting boring and I'll leave it at this. If the Bengals can not rush around the league average they are not going to have a good season.

If the Bengals average 1 yard per carry in the regular season it's gonna be tough ! Defense would have to be 85 bearsish.

You aren't going to win many games with your RB averaging 1 ypc...I don't care who the QB or WRs are. We saw last year that teams didn't even bring their safety up and still held us to 2.9 YPC (IIRC) through 11 games. A bad run game = more DBs in coverage and longer 2nd and 3rd down situations. We'd better get it fixed asap.
We can deal with an "ok" run game, but a terrible one can and will hold us back.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.

Interesting to hear AJ talked to Larry Fitzgerald after a frustrating season last year. Can’t get advice from a much better WR/man.
