Only 59 Yards Rushing in TWO Games!

That’s how much the Bengals have rushed all season; barely over half the length of the field.  They managed 34 rushing yards against the Seahawks and the 49ers held them to only 25 yards rushing today.  Yes, I know the NFL is pass-happy on the whole but if you can’t run the ball you can’t control the clock.  Every Bengal touchdown so far has come via the pass.

Now I realize this is mostly on the offensive line which, at least with respect to run blocking, might be the worst in the entire league.  Somehow Jim Turner needs to get those big guys to directionally block and open some holes.

We hired a mediocre offensive line coach with a bunch of red flags that no other team would hire in the NFL. What do you expect?

Also, Pollack apparently didn't want to coach this line when given the opportunity to leave. That says a lot.
