When both of your backs are getting limited on a regular basis, either both backs suck...or there's a very real problem with the O-line personnel and/or scheme as far as run blocking.

When you look at Bengals O-lines over the past 10-15 years, they are almost always in the 20's in yards per carry. 

I think it's a combination of the RBs and OL. You've got Bodine who doesn't drive his guy off the ball on run plays. Seriously, he just stays in one place. Ced...nothing more needs to be said about Ced. Boling played with essentially one arm the whole season. The OL wasn't good and now its become worse.

Hill and Gio have their own issues. Hill is trying to be something he's not. He's always looking for cutbacks or trying to bounce outside. It's painful that he doesn't try to play like the bruiser he is. Gio seems determined to show that he's a complete back by running up the middle a lot. However, I notice that Gio tends to put his head down and just seems determined to get 4 yards on a play. Teams have grown wise to that. They just blitz the middle and stop him for no gain.
