Specifically, they want him to be a prototypical 3rd down back, and that’s never been him. He’s not quick enough to win on outside sweeps or catch balls in the flats.
Can now see those tires have some wear. He’s not hitting holes, he cannot break away from any tackles and he goes down if someone farts in his general direction.
Cincy needs a 3rd down guy to compliment him. A Gio type.
Wouldn't that guy be Evans? Maybe Evans is not a good enough blocker? I knew letting Gio go was a mistake.
