Bengals OC Jay Gruden confirmed that he'll go with a committee attack at RB with BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Bernard Scott. "I don't know what it will be," Gruden said of the workload split. "But (BJGE) deserves to carry the ball. [Bernard] Scott deserves more carries… If a guy gets hot, he'll get the carries… They both understand that." Gruden seems confident in Green-Ellis' ability to be a workhorse though. "He can do it," said Gruden. "He's shown flashes of being able to do it all. It's not his fault that he played running back with the greatest quarterback in the history of football. He hasn't had a quote "breakout year" but he's a very talented player that's going to help us in a lot of ways." The Law Firm's career-high in carries sits at 229. We'd consider that his ceiling in 2012, even if the Bengals don't add another back through the draft.
