There is talent ed players on the defense... They need to Gel and trust/learn each other.. Should be a huge improvement this year

We say that we should have a great pass rush each year, and it never happens.  That goes way back before ZT arrived.  I hope the emphasis on pass rushers and quality depth on the line has a big impact.  

Anarumo now has players that fit the scheme he wants to run better than ever, so it is truly a "no excuses"-type season.  I wish they had gone all in before last year and gotten something (more than what they did) for the likes of Dunlap, Geno, AJ, and WJIII....a true overhaul instead of the half-assed version.  BUT, that being said, it put the Bengals in place to get Chase at #5, and  THIS year they really turned over the roster.

There are very few of the "old guard" still around and most is guys like Huber.  I think that the revamped offensive line (that actually was decent down the line when XSF and Spain were playing guard), a more aggressive defense, and Burrow with one of the best young WR corps in the league will be a very exciting season.  Not going to be easy, as the Browns nailed their draft and are loaded, and Baltimore always seems to stay competitive, but it will be exciting for sure.
