What was not expected was how bad the highly paid front 6 has been against the run. Bengals are allowing 4.7 yards per carry and 125 per game average. I know some of that is on the young secondary as well but damn the run defense has been just awful and they have so much invested in the DL and LB through Cash and the Draft.

One of the biggest issues I can see with run D is the first guy in usually goes for the ball instead of the tackle and the runner gets an extra 2-4 yards before the next man gets in.
