Even in late May, we know Zac Taylor wants a run based offense. It is not difficult to connect those dots. Between the draft and free agency, Cincinnati has brought in three new offensive lineman, two rookie running backs, and one of college football’s best blocking tight ends. Running the ball early and often is the only thing these moves foreshadow.
Combine all this with the fact that Joe Mixon was already the AFC’s leading rusher last year, and there is no reason why the Bengals shouldn’t have one of the best rushing offenses in football this year.
