Many people mistakenly blame running backs for “dancing in the backfield” but if they watch the play from behind it becomes apparent no holes exist. This isn’t the case for someone like LeVeon Bell who does indeed “dance in the backfield” but in his case holes do appear.

The Bengals are getting closer to being more effective at run blocking. The line looks completely different already and it’s going to keep improving.
