Our run game confuses me completely tbh. Every time I check the stats midway through a game, Mixon is on like 2.4 yards a carry or something weak. Or if it's not Mixon, it's Gio Bernard... Jeremy Hill.... Benjarvis Green-Ellis...
No I'm not living in some hallucination where Bengals players of old are joining the current team. My point is the run game seems to have been tepid for seasons on end now. We have the random year where it's a strength, but all too often we seem to be sitting on like 20 rushing yards with 5 mins left in the first half.
I definitely think it's more an O-Line issue than the RBs we've fielded in these seasons, but gotta point a big finger at the coaching too. I dream of the day when we get Ced Ben from 2009 (?) in the backfield and run it at the Ravens and Steelers for 100+ yards a game.
