Harrison Smith is still solid but not what he used to be. Anthony Harris left in FA. Their other corners aren't very good and their defensive line has really struggled to get a pass rush recently. In fact, their defense last year was one of the worst in the leagues...far worse than ours even.

I think this game turns into a shootout.

Just looking at who they have back and who they added I get the vibe their defense is going to be much improved. 
Danielle Hunter sat out last season and should be fully healed up. Last time he was playing he had 18 sacks. 

Their other two corners aren't very good??? One of them is MacKensie Alexander who everyone around here wanted back, now that he is gone he isn't very good?? The guy shut down several good slot receivers last season and practiced every week against Boyd. Then there is Cameron Dantzler who was just the 2nd highest graded rookie cornerback last season.... In what world are these two guys not good?????


The biggest factor in this is that the Bengals offense is being led by Zac Taylor and going against a defense led by Zimmer.
