You think, but his total body of work doesn't suggest he is top 10 or a player that can carry a team when the rushing game sucks. Oh and by the way that 2015 season where he was awesome, the Bengals averaged around rushing 100 yards a game. 1805 rushing yards over 16 games = 112.81 yards.

I could be wrong but think Brady Pats teams have averaged well over 100 yards rushing a game also.
I bet the Salmon sisters also go trout fishing.
Westerman out with a back injury.
Driskel enters the fray and puts some zip on the ball.
Nice throw by Driskel. Backups are looking better.
What is that background music on the storylines graphic?
Hope Hill is not hurt. Good run!
Both Hill and Carson have looked good.
Damn, that would've been a helluva score!
Driskel has looked good all preseason.

The point is the good rushing game opened the game up for passing. I won't put my money on Andy carrying the team when they can't run like I have seen top 5 QBs do when needed. His career stats, not just one season, suggest he can't. I do hope as a fan he will improve to that level though. Anyway this is getting boring and I'll leave it at this. If the Bengals can not rush around the league average they are not going to have a good season.
2nd down should've been another run
He has a resting angry woman face.
Brown used .01 percent to make that kick.

If the Bengals average 1 yard per carry in the regular season it's gonna be tough ! Defense would have to be 85 bearsish.
You aren't going to win many games with your RB averaging 1 ypc...I don't care who the QB or WRs are. We saw last year that teams didn't even bring their safety up and still held us to 2.9 YPC (IIRC) through 11 games. A bad run game = more DBs in coverage and longer 2nd and 3rd down situations. We'd better get it fixed asap.
We can deal with an "ok" run game, but a terrible one can and will hold us back.
Death, taxes, and Bengals cannot tackle TE.
Interesting to hear AJ talked to Larry Fitzgerald after a frustrating season last year. Can’t get advice from a much better WR/man.
