As the Cincinnati Bengals prepare for another year of excitement, the backfield situation looms. Any fan with even limited knowledge of the offseason dealings knows the score. The Bengals’ O-line took a severe punch to the gut as Andrew Whitworth and Kevin Zeitler sniffed the green and rolled out. But, things are just as dicey with the running back situation. To have a consistent and intimidating offense in the AFC North, you need a RB with bite. This year, Joe Mixon may have to lead the charge.
If there’s a silver lining to the backfield dilemma, it comes in the form of Giovani Bernard.
