1. Well if this is true, Hill would join a lengthy list of Bengals to ask for a trade. Probably the longest list in the NFL.
2. Lets be real. Hill is probably better than his 3.66 YPC over the last 2+ years. This line sucks, the blocking scheme sucks, and our track record as far as running the football is abysmal. Joe Mixon has been praised for his talent. He's averaging 3.1 YPC. Gio Bernard hasn't been anything special here. He's had a couple long runs this year, but outside of those 2 runs, he has 13 yards on 13 carries. We are a horrible running team. I cannot put enough emphasis on HORRIBLE.
A trio of 2nd round picks, all viewed as some of the most talented runners in the draft, and yet we're still terrible running the ball. It's not hard to figure out.
3. We should've traded Hill before the season started anyway. Gio was healthy and it was obvious that Mixon is the guy for now and the future. Plus we have needs.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
