The Bengals official team website reports that running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis is going to be the starter, but he's expected to share carries with Bernard Scott and Brian Leonard. The report says "offensive coordinator Jay Gruden is going running-back-by-committee, the Bell Cow is extinct." The report also quotes Sports Illustrated NFL Insider Peter King that "any team that Marvin Lewis is coaching is going to run the ball. Green-Ellis isn't explosive, but they want him to do what (Cedric) Benson did and possess the ball and get 3 or 4 yards every time without big losses, and that's what he does." Source: CBSSports
i thought the steelers RB situation was rough without mendenhall until i saw the bengals, it really put it in perspective in the AFC north Steelers: Isaac Redman* - Starter Baron Batch John Clay Chris Rainey Jonathan Dwyer Rashard Mendenhall - Injured Will Johnson Browns: Trent Richardson* - Starter Montario hardesty Chris Ogbonnaya Eddie Williams Brandon Jackson Brad Smelley Bengals: Jourdan Brooks Aaron Brown James Develin BenJarvus Green-Ellis* - Starter Dan Herron Bernard Scott Rodney Stewart Brian Leonard Ravens: Ray Rice* - Starter Anthony Allen Damien Berry Bernard Pierce Bobby Rainey Vonta Leach - FB Id say the ravens and browns have the best starters, but the steelers have the best rotation even if theres a decent amount of question marks surrounding them. the bengals just look horrid
