Well at least we will finally be able to use Jeremy Hill for the outside runs where he really shines.
Sucks. But Marvin has been planning. You thought he just didnt know how to utilize personnel. Ha. He was really just resting Burkhead for this very reason.

If any Cincinnati Bengals fans were wondering if Sunday could get any worse, the answer is yes.
According to Tom Pelissero of USA Today, Bengals running back Giovani Bernard tore his ACL in Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills.
More information will be coming shortly.

Not good. Hope Gio is able to completely recover. I also look forward to seeing them hand the ball to Burkhead.

The injuries to A.J. and Gio coupled with Eifert missing time at the beginning of the season will be Mike Brown's excuse to bring Marvin back.

This may also mean that Lewis is gonna activate Peerman over WJIII, thus essentially wasting yet another 1st round pick.

I wish him well and I really hope this doesn't hurt him long term. That said, Gio was having a pretty bad year, IMO. I'm sure I'll get flamed for saying it, but he was bringing next to nothing as a runner, and wasn't making huge plays as a receiver, either. Obviously he's a big check down option, so it's still a loss. I'm interested to see what Burkhead can do in an expanded role though.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
