What running game? Gio outrunning linemen who already penetrated the backfield
Can someone look me in the eye and say they trust Jake Fisher and Russel Bodine to give us enough of a run game to take pressure off Andy?
Get ready for a lot more quick passess. Better hope Andy gels with Lafell and his rookies sooner than later.
They're building a good OL the right way, but look at the upside of what some of the youngsters have to work with. Bodine has to prove himself to us fans to gain trust, so set him aside. Fisher and Westerman are both very athletic and pretty technically sound coming out of college. Neither are beastly run blockers, but I'd rather have their extreme to keep Andy whole than run blockers that are weak pass blockers. A good running game takes pressure off the QB but bad pass blocking is worse. Like others say, the vets are good and Cincy has solid chemistry which is valuable. Lets hope there aren't any more injuries until Ced comes back and Bodine actually improves this year.
