Ekeler got 74 touches his rookie year and didn’t become ekeler until he got opportunity. How can you possibly say anything good/bad /indifferent on 5 career touches, only 2 rushes.
Nice post Bengalbug, yes the measurables are all there for Chase Brown.
Mixon had a couple good games early this season, but he hasn't been good since except as a pass catcher which Chase Brown
can do. Give him more touches and see what he does behind the starting OL and we can see what we have here, we know what
we have in Mixon and he is not the future. Time to see if Chase Brown is a part of our future. I loved the guy at Illinois.

Not sure the exact numbers, but it was very telling of the team's lack of intent to run the ball. That must change if the Bengals want to get a defense reeling and keep them on their heels.
Makes sense, been seeing the same thing. Need to take what the Defense gives us instead of just abandoning the run when we
are down. Get some good run blocks and they also can score TD's just the same as passing plays out of the Shotgun which we
haven't been getting anyways much.
