It is the interior o-line and running scheme more so than the running back.
The Bengals are rolling with sub-average interior o-line play across the board who only seem palatable due to the terrible players who were there in previous years.

It is not sexy, but it needs to get done to rebirth the running game and extend Burrow's career.
