Will Hill still get the majority of the carries but just have a short leash, or will Bernard take over with Hill being his reliever, or will Hill just be benched completely for the time being?  

The one fumble was just mishandling a pitch, which I really don't see as too big of an issue, but he definitely needs to hold the ball tighter with the other one.

How will the running back roles be going forward?

Do we need to give him a ball at all times to hold onto and have people trying to knock it out like this clip in The Program?

Hill, and I think we will see a huge game out of him this week.

If you mean the finger pointing, MANY NFL players do it. Antonion Brown does it. Michael Crabtree does it. Marvin Jones and Sanu do it.


Heck, Jones also does dances. So I guess he's the next Ocho. Right?

Do any of those guys have a fumbling problem?

I think it's pretty clear that Hill is the more complete back and that he should get most of the workload. I think the Bengals see it that way as well. Gio is an awesome guy to have in his specific role, and his huge game last week might be enough to get him on the field closer to half of the time. If the Bengals need to protect a lead, I think they should give the ball to Hill even considering his fumbles. If they need to cover a lot of field in a short amount of time, go with Gio.

Use both of them in a diverse set of roles, really. They're both capable of running inside and working in space.

Nfl mobile notes Hill will be the starter.
Interesting how he's holding the ball in the photo.

Hill only got 11 carries (I think) and most of them seemed like they were from the shotgun, which isn't his strength, his strength is lining up behind Dalton with Dalton under center and running north and south.

I really don't get it, especially when we needed to milk the clock or even just establish the run.

See my reply in thread named "what's wrong with Hill".
