I still think the Bengals draft a running back at some point. I don't know if Gruden is set on Bernard Scott simply because of how poorly he catches the ball. Wish Brian Leonard would get more use in that department.
What I like about BJGE is how well he runs the ball in the red zone. This will be a nice change given how much Benson struggled once the Bengals hit the 20 yard line.

I dont think the bengals have a problem per se. They had an offense that had a rookie QB and WR. They played fantastically no doubt. The offense will continue to evolve and they wil have to adjust now that teams have adjusted to them. NOw, the bengals havent been good at putting back to back winning seasons together so that is the first order of business. I think they will do it this year though.
They beat everyone they should last year, now they need to sprinkle in a couple against the top teams and they are gold.

He is certainly better in close than what we've had lately a true goal line type of back is where he will get his value. But yes a new back in the draft or next year is much needed.

I liked the signing. Still pretty young, hasn't carried the ball too much so he still has mileage left. Good locker room guy.
They have had horrible luck in the draft with RBs going back to Ki-Jana but even recently with Irons and Perry. If they take one I hope it's not in the first 3 rounds. A lot of fans here in Cincy want Pead, not sure if he will be around in the 4th or not.

I jus wish we woulda signed bush instead. I'll be happy though if we go after Wallace.

The Bengals need a bruising RB in this draft.
Ganaway from Baylor is someone I'd like to see them consider.

a temporary solution IMO, to someone we may draft or pick up in the future.. He is a pass catcher, giving Dalton another target out of the backfield and also a good pass blocker, hopefully giving dalton enough time to get it to #18, who is going to have another great year
