Why Has the Bengals Offense Collapsed?

Staying in the Stealer RB category Perine yesterday did it more like Bettis - he just accelerated and hit the hole no fanciness. Also noteworthy was the change in the run play design - we stopped trying to run McVay/Gurley style where the play is to gain and turn the corner and instead just hit the RT-RG gap behind Collins and Cappa. In other words we let our new right side of the OL do what they are comfortable doing and they made it happen. 

Bell yes that's him. And yes I agree run Mixon between the tackles and more right than left. You have to mix a few to the left in. 

Mixon is just a downhill runner he's not a finesse back. And yes I agree stop all the damn outside wide stuff. Sure just like running left you have to mix it in once or twice a game but not 4 or 5.
