I would bet he's a bit gun shy after taking so many hits/sacks (partially his own undoing) along with his injury on turning his back away from the pass rush (let alone corner blitzes) and being able to get set again without a defender draped all over him.

I'd imagine ranking 24th in rushing a year ago had something to do with that, albeit, I believe sacks on the QB reduces rushing yards per game so that rushing average is skewed quite a bit.

He also had a really strong OL with the ability to run the ball.  Defenses were forced to stay in and defend the run versus LSU, whereas the past few years nobody has respected the Bengals rushing threat.
