49ers ground game is crushing the Bengals

[Auggie]

Really satisfying to witness, even if it is Cincinatti.

1. Hey now - I resemble that remark !

[Auggie]

3. Sorry

We’ve had some lean years in S.F. This is actually a bit of surprise IMO.

[CincyDem]

5. Haha - come back for sympathy when you've had "lean decades !!!" lol

Maybe you'll get an easier time next week if Ben's not playing.

2. What a difference an actual pass rush makes

This is the most excited I’ve been for my Niners in quite awhile.

[Auggie]

4. Yeah. Though Week 3 will be tougher against the Steelers.

6. Now that Staley's injured, especially

Big Ben is apparently hurt too, so maybe the D can carry the team. We’ll see.

10. Guess we'll have news on Roethlisberger's MRI soon.

7. Not necessarily

They lost to Seattle today. Good luck!

8. I liked watching Baltimore run the ball against Arizona

Arizona went with the flashy new trend while Baltimore brought over coaches from Georgia Tech & Paul Johnson from Navy to install some triple option concepts this offseason.

9. Murray had a good day, but your Cards couldn't run

20 yards total on the ground??? Only 11 attempts? Is the Ravens run defense that good?

11. Kliff Kingsbury runs Hal Mumme's air raid offense

Teams like the Chiefs run Air Raid plays but they don't make up the entire playbook like Kliff Kingsbury who will be running it full time for the first time in the NFL.

Mike Leach also runs Hal Mumme's system at Washington State who coached Kliff Kingsbury at Texas Tech. Those teams are usually near the bottom out of 120+ college teams in rushing attempts per game.

David Johnson only had 7 carries.
