If they are smart, they run spread all day. Hewitt probably doesn't see a snap on offense. Keep it spread wide with 4 WR. Gio/Mixon single back shotgun.
1. Make Suggs run, get wide in the splits. Yes he's getting up there but he can still bring it. Make him have to go farther.
2. Spreading it out keeps Williams on the bench. Probably Pierce for a lot of it too. If they put Williams in, run the no huddle.
My fear is they try to "hide" OL issues and run it early and often like a power team.
Yup. In the last 2 years, Hill's only 100+ yd games were twice against Cleve last year. Nothing in '15.
(bolded) And that's part of the problem that makes them the antithesis of a NE. Bengals will go into a game trying to establish the run, and/or try and stay balanced on run/pass. NE will take a teams weakness and exploit it to the hilt. It's why they own the Steelers. They go into the game knowing they're going to throw it 50-60 times and F the run.
