Still, Rudi put up 1309 yards and 12 TDs in 2006 when Levi missed 11 starts and Ghiaciuc started 13 games at center after Braham went down. So maybe it wasn't all the o-line?
Either way, Rudi is just one of many players who doesn't get his due. I've met a lot of Bengals through the years, and a surprising amount of them aren't exactly friendly off the field, but I still appreciate what they contributed on the field.
Rudi was one of my favorite players on the team. He was just a bowling ball out there. I know he played behind some great OLs, but he still had good vision. I just know that people really turned on him during the 07 season. I figured that his rough year was in due part to the sucky OL and being worn down from carrying the ball over 1,000 times in 3 years.
You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.
