These are great points. Germaine Pratt is becoming the punisher; the physically intimidating linebacker the Bengals have been missing since Vontaze Burfict. In the AFC North it’s crucial to have a linebacker — or several linebackers — with sheer intimidation factor.

My prediction is Pratt will outplay Burfict because his mind is more focused. I’ll say this about Burfict who I met a few times: Off the field he’s smart, courteous, and a real gentleman. However, when he steps in bounds the screws come loose.
