We were also in the 20's a couple times even with Dillon.

I guess I remember him being more effective than the stats tell.

Before people say Mixon is the answer...he rushed for 3.4 ypc. The line is obviously the answer.

seems EVERY year I want the Bengals to draft a Center in rd #2
they never do...
they just don't like quality centers....

Rudi's fall coincided with Rich Braham's injury (2006).

We basically haven't had an efficient run game since Braham, which is something people used to complain about, but it's long since forgotten.

I disagree.  Our running game has not been good for pushing ten years.

It's as if a Center were important...

Mike didn't learn that from Dad, who made a C the first ever Bengal pick.
