I was mistaken about Willie. He was with the Ravens in '08.
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.

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