Running Game

[Essex Johnson]

Have to give some to the running game last nite. Brown and Moss ran well and oline was solid. Moss surprised me by contributing in passing game also.

Moss did look good breaking tackles last night. A couple times I thought he reminded me of our old pal Perine.

 I like them both. Didn't know much about Moss before he was a Bengal, but he fights for the extra yards & Brown has a bright future. He's got another gear & it's a fast one.

I honestly am loving this offense, our running game, and our personnel. Maybe more than I ever have.

Though we might be buyers regret with investing too much capital on offense as we watch our defense struggle, we need to $$ on defense in offseason

The Offense looked good overall last night

Offense as a whole did well.
Always good when you put up 30+ points.
Hard to win when you also allow 30+ points.

Bengals 2024 salary cap spend $130,000,000 on offense and $113,000,000 on defense.

Chiefs $155,000,000 on offense, $75,000,000 on defense.

Only 4 teams have a higher salary cap on defense- Steelers, packers, bears and chargers.

That's a pretty depressing comparison.

No kidding.

Steelers are allowing the lowest ppg, LAC at 3, Chicago at 10 and packers at 12. All under 20 PPG, bengals at 26.7.

The bengals are giving up more PPG than the Steelers have allowed through 3 games.

Isn't it strange that the Steelers always seem to find a way to get it done? Yea they've had some average seasons in the last 10 but doesn't Tomlin have a winning record for his career there? And they usually are in the playoffs. I know most here despise them but I find them to be most times a solid team all around year after year.

Not only does he have a winning record, he has never had a losing season.

Regular season: Tomlin's 163-93-2 regular season record is the third-best in the NFL since 2007, behind only Andy Reid and Bill Belichick.

Consecutive non-losing seasons: Tomlin holds the record for the most consecutive non-losing seasons to begin a coaching career with 17.

When you look at this you have to wonder... what in the heck are the Bengals doing.

Yes, good question. Or what aren't they doing?

The bengals have $53,000,000 in salary cap dedicated to their 4 Starting DL. Approx 21% of their total cap.

The 3rd, 5th, 6th and 7th highest paid players on the bengals roster.

Hendrickson is literally the only one contributing due to injuries and in effectiveness.

Further… The Cincinnati Bengals' defensive line cap spending for 2024 is $65.7 million, ranking second in the NFL among defensive lines. In addition to the high contracts, think of the recent draft capital over the last 3 years.

My goodness. Can’t draft/develop or buy/fit.

[Housh]

Without reading these posts or looking up any stats i feel like it’s been good for the most part. Sample and All are amazing at blocking up runs



Now lemme reads these posts so i can feel stupid….

[reuben.ahmed]

most of the posts in this thread are about how bad the DL is in a running game thread. We have to fix the defense or this season is a loss, how?

We should have traded Tee before this mess.

If only there were a thread or two addressing defensive issues...

The running game is better so far but they still can't win in the redzone. The Bengals are passing ALOT inside the 5 yard line.
