That was a 1 in 100 run that's just not going to happen much.

re: Dalton - It's funny that the OP says that Dalton can't overcome Marvin.

I see it as Marvin can't overcome the organization. Put Marvin as the coach of the Steelers and he wins a Super Bowl. Put Tomlin here and I think we're the same.

The organization made a conscious effort to allow Whitworth and Zeitler leave and not replace them. Our 2 best offensive lineman...leave...and then they somehow expect to get better?

I firmly believe that the Bengals can drastically improve the offense (ESPECIALLY the run game) with the additions of Mike McGlinchey at LT from the draft, Frank Ragnow and/or Billy Price at C/RG from the draft, and re-signing Andre Smith to actually be the unquestioned starter at RT. McGlinchey, Ragnow, and Price are all very good run blockers. And Dalton is at his best when there's a good running game and the run can be used to set up the pass.
