Scoring on the First SIX Possessions
#3

Now, on to Cleveland.  Even the hapless Browns know the Bengals hand it off to Jeremy Hill for a left side B-gap run every time on first down.  Maybe it's time to try something else -- anything else -- on first down.  If that happens I think Jeremy's yards per carry might increase because the entire defense won't be cued up to take him down if he runs more on third and short instead of first and long.


Regarding your quote on :andy:  our standard first play - amen amen amen.
