I wanted the Bengals to address RB depth all offseason and I think they made a mistake in ignoring it.
Samaje Perine has yet to carry the ball while the Bengals are under center this year.
He's only been on the field for 8 plays while the Bengals are under center.
His running has not been effective this season either.
13 carries for 42 yards (3.2 per) with a 15.4% success rate and this has come against a 0% stacked box rate.
But when Perine is out there in the passing game, the offense is really good.
+0.18 EPA per play
47.5% success rate
8.5 yards per play
27.8% explosive rate
39% first down rate
They just needed to add a powerful runner to pair with Chase Brown.
