He is actually a faster straight line runner than Gio. Gio was more about moves and making defenders miss as we remember the
all time great run against the Dolphins back in the day. Love Gio.

I need to see the Bengals actually effectively run the ball for a couple weeks before I believe it will magically just happen. We've been 24th, 27th, 26th, 29th, and 22nd in rushing YPC as a team in the ZT era. Granted that's been an issue for much longer than the ZT era, only being above-average as a team in rushing YPC in 4 of the last 20 seasons ('18, '14, '05, '04). I think we currently have the ~10th worst RB room in the league, so I don't expect much better rushing-wise, but at least they should be betting pass blocking with Moss and should be competent pass catching.
All understandable, have to see it to believe it. But the explosiveness is certainly there with Chase Brown. As Sled says, he had the
2nd fastest speed clocked last season on that screen pass TD.

No doubt, cannot teach speed. What was awesome was how that WR's coach taught Chase Brown to be such a better route
runner and Receiver this Offseason. That was extremely impressive in those vids showing the difference.
