Honestly our run game was bad this year because PA's O-line could not open up holes.
We have some good run blockers as well in Smith, Whit, Boling and Zeitler.
I don't understand how you of all people don't give PA a touch of hate.
You know OL play.
Zerk also hates Bodine with a fiery passion and Bodine was hand picked by PA. PA was so excited about the dude that we traded up (unheard of for Cincy) to get him. OL coaches have been fired for less than that. I don't feel like getting into a 3 page debate on this, but I think our pass pro was exposed a bit when Dalton went down. Sure, Macaroni often held on too long, but still. To go from a 20 sack pace to a 50+ sack pace with McCarron was pretty extreme. The run game was awful all year.
Even if PA isn't as bad as some think, he certainly doesn't have a flawless resume like some think. Fwiw, last year was the only year since 2006 that we finished higher than 20th in yards per carry. With the talent we have at RB, there's no excuse for that.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
