AMPHAR Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Using the time honored success standards for a running play Success - 4+ yards on a carry Success - Less than 4 on conversion of 1st or TD Failure - Carry for a loss. Stripping out QB runs. I come up with 97 total carries so far: 52 - Mixon 18 - Gio 25 - Hill 2 -WR Going back through the play by play. The mighty Bengals running game has had some inconsistent success. 36 carries out of 97 - 37% of the time. They have also experience FAILURE 15 times, a tad bit over 15% of the time. However several of those losses were playing out the game in blowouts Ravens and Browns. 48% of running plays they are just grinding it out in the 3 yards and a cloud of dust. If this season becomes interesting, I will revisit later. Just for record 19 success runs came under Zampese with only 7 Failures Leaving 17 success for Lazor with 9 Failure plays. No real determination so far as far as OC is concerned. I would think 45%, 45%, 10% would be a key to generating more points. At this juncture Bengals are: 27th total yards - Avrg 291 23rd rushing yards Avrg 88 27th scoring Avrg 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixon looks like a hybrid version of those two and may be the best back since Corey Dillon ... time will tell. What's clear is the O-line still SUCKS. Obviously Whit and KZ were/are better than their replacements. Good news is Moobs played way more than OogieBoogie vs Cleveland and I think Paul A. Is finally going to see better than he hears regarding Oogie and even Fisher. Not as sure if Bodine will ever be replaced though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShulaSteakhouse Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 PFF grades Bengals' o-line as worst in the NFL, by a looong shot. Who's responsible for both the o-line and run-blocking schemes? Paul Alexander, the greatest coach in history. http://bengalswire.usatoday.com/2017/10/10/bengals-grade-worst-run-blocking-offensive-line-nfl/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 What is this, fake news? Just kidding. They suck, and a series of front office missteps set it all in motion. Time to find a new line coach and some new linemen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
