I'll add the RB's in 1970 that took team to first play-off ever, Paul Robinson, Jess Phillips, Essex Johnson. 1969 AFL Rookie of the Year Greg Cook was pretty much lost to injury, but 1968 AFL Rookie of the Year Paul Robinson returned from 1969 injuries and carried the team on his back to the play-offs in 1970.
Since we see few 2 back sets with a FB running the ball in 2016, it's as if the running FB is gone forever. Most college FBs only block. The game has changed. ......So great Bengals one backs have been Pete Johnson, Kinnebrew, Dillon, Rudi, Benson. Pete was awesome by himself in one back sets, and Benson was the reason for play-offs in 2009 season. No passing, but we had Benson. Dillon was just a monster on a team not very good. He showed what he could do on a team like Patriots. To me that was the best of the Patriots teams because Dillon gave them a Jim Brown type RB and that team was as good as any that ever took the field. Dillon played on some of the worst Bengal teams ever, those 1990's and early 2000's some of the worst teams to ever take the field in the history of the NFL. Coach Lewis had his work cut out for him taking over this sorry bunch of losers in 2003.
I want to see our Bengals RBs cut down on the fumbles. Both Bernard and Hill have butter fingers, and it has killed us in play-off games. Those fumbles have just killed us in play-off games. Until they get rid of the butter fingers, I'm not ready to praise Bernard or Hill yet, in fact, if they don't get better, they too can be replaced.
