I don't get what we are doing with the running game and honestly I don't think the Bengals do either. As people have pointed even if the run game is working we will move on as if it wasn't working. It's like we're either obsessed with the big play and realize it won't come from that or we are afraid running the ball will cause too many punts. Instead we go 3 and out throwing a bunch of incompletetions. I would like for us to pick some spots to commit to the run game and pick up some 1st downs that way. The other thing that drives me crazy is our lack of utilizing other backs. Evans showed great hands and a shiftiness and nose for the 1st down his rookie year and had a couple nice runs early this year. The you have Brown who had his flash big catch in run in the preseason and I would love to try and find ways for him to catch the football on the run. Even Trayveon showed enough to deserve his chances but all the backups just haven't been given enough of a chance to have an impact.
