I still believe both Gio and Hill are more talented than all of those RB's as well.
Maybe even Burkhead might be more talented than all of those RB's. In the end the blocking is the end all here.
Need a new O-line coach, a solid Center and a solid OT for the future. I blame PA more than anyone.
I know everyone is crying "fresh legs" regarding Burkhead. But he was running the ball, receiving and playing special teams. And he had the same blocking as Hill and averaged just under 5 yards a carry while Hill averaged just under 2. And I'll grant you that Hill may be playing hurt. But his injury is an upper body injury not his legs.
If I'm the Bengals I'm giving Burkhead a lot of snaps the rest of the season.
