Running the rush numbers

Remain calm.

That was Bengals offensive coordinator Hue Jackson’s advice this week when it came to the Bengals running game.

“It will click when we’re ready to put the click in. I’m not concerned about it,” Jackson said. “I can’t tell you anything strategy-wise. But we all know when it’s time to run, we’ll run. We know how to.”

The numbers back up Jackson. Since the Green-Dalton Bengals were formed in 2011, whether the running back has been Cedric Benson, or BenJarvus Green-Ellis, or Giovani Bernard or Jeremy Hill, the Bengals have run the ball more and better in November and December than September and October.
