"Better than his numbers" applies more to #Bengals RB Joe Mixon (2.9 avg) than any other player. One of NFL's 6 or 7 best pure runners.

Jeremy has struggled since his rookie season and last year was dubbed 'two yard Jeremy' - but it was actually Gio who led last years backs in % of 2 yard or less runs per carry.
All these backs having issues seems to say more about the line, the line coach and the run blocking scheme than it does about the backs. The situation is so f'd up, I don't think you can truly judge any of them fairly or accurately at this point.
I'd blame it on the line, but we had a "good" line outside of 2016-pre but our struggles running the ball has gone on since Ced it seems.
