That is most teams running games though.  Several short runs 3 yards here, 3 yards there and if the run game gets going some big ones.  I would not say 4.4 yards a carry out of 29 attempts by Mixon is an example of not being able to run the ball.  Also Perine averaged 4.4 yards carry.   But that's just my opinion.  We'll see how it goes in the following weeks before we can declare the Bengals not being able to run the ball.
