The @bengals offense isn’t all their QB and start WR’s. They have a very specific run play they’ve turned to as its become an identity marker for them! @ben_baby @lndspatterson @cincyjungle pic.twitter.com/dTidTsZqPY

Awesome.  Great post!

What I love most about this is it establishes an identity, i.e. what are you?  If the Bengals can continue to solidify this and fine tune it down the stretch watch out.  Not only because it establishes the run game but what it will do for the passing game.  If they become a stop-the-run first team (not just by words but by opposing teams actions) the passing game will thrive.  It will open up so much.

Maybe that's what all these players are talking about when they say "we're starting to hit our stride".  Man this is good stuff.
