Elephant in the room - run game

I know someone will bring up the running backs YPC but it's misleading. In 2015 they were not afraid to run on 3 and short because they consistently converted. Jeremy Hill also had nose for the end zone from around the 10 yard line. What they were missing was those big chunk runs which kept the YPC down.


Edit: As for 2018 they need to figure out some semblance for a run game because they can't be one dimensional on offense. The AFC North seems to be fielding the really good defenses this season.

Gio carried that teams rushing attack thru the first half, while Hill pounded it in from close. It was a solid rushing attack, but other than that, it hasn't been that great -- sometimes borderline awful. And that 2015 squad probably had one of the better offensive lines in a while (Whit, Boling, Bodine, Z, Andre). It's really confusing seeing as they have their QB, WR1, TE1....but just don't seem to get a lot out of the ground game. You give AD a top 10 rushing attack with those outside weapons and Eifert, that would be a sight to see on the field
