3rd and shorts are better converted with runs coming from under center and not from trying to throw for firsts more often.

Fred already mentioned it, but by and large, short yardage runs are converted at a higher percentage in shotgun rather than under center. There was already a massive thread on this so I am not going to carry the conversation further than this post but shotgun runs are more effective in nearly every single scenario on the field. 

Really, shotgun is probably just the better way to run an offense right now. You have more flexibility and variety in what you can do in a modern offense. I don't see Cincinnati veering away from it.
