When you run and the defense knows you are running, averaging 4 YPC is excellent. 

Therefore; a below average running game is one that can't consistently generate that YPC average on obvious run downs. 

We were last in the league in first downs gained by running the ball. In the four games against KC, Eagles and two Ravens games, we averaged 63 yards rushing per game. 

If we had a run game, we would have beaten the Ravens the first game. Up by 3 points, ball on the Ravens 38 yard line, first and 10, with less than 4 minutes left in the game. This is the classic example of situational football. This is grind and kill the clock time. But Burrow throws an INT. 

The Steelers were a far different style of offense (and way better defense) when they were doing that compared to how the Bengals are now.
If that's the type of offense you want, they probably need more drastic changes than having Erick All on the field.
