No, bringing the safeties up to help stop the run absolutely helps.
It doesn't. This is easily verifiable and isn't even "analytics". It is just finding trends in performances. Now, to be fair, most run games average out to somewhere between 3.8 yards and 5.5 yards per carry. The difference between these is essentially non-existent in how it affects your passing game.
The Bengals just now surpassed the 3 yard per carry mark. So, they have been absolutely, undeniably AWFUL at running the ball. Even still, the Bengals have the 12th best passing offense by passer rating and 10th best passing offense by EPA per attempt. So, even then, the passing offense has still been effective.
