I think the bengals don’t run the ball well.

We definitely do not. It's been great to see Chase Brown emerge this year and in spells breaks a few runs. But I do feel like he'll only generally do so 'in spells'. I am higher on the run game than in some previous years though, I think it's at least a move in the right direction.

I think if you run the ball well, you'd be confident of running out the clock with the run game. Bengals up by 3 with the ball and need to run the clock for the win. Would you trust the run game to do so? I wouldn't and my guess is most people would say no as well. That to me is as sure a sign as any that the Bengals run game simply isn't that good.
