I do know they played some great offenses which can skew numbers.

We played 3, 9, 11 and 15 (we were 10th) in the playoffs. We also played 2 road games and 1 neutral game of the 4 playoff wins. We looked great against a very good Rams offense in my opinion. We beat the #3 offense at home and on the road.

I like Larry, but I don't think he is total team defensive player and never has been. It sacrifices his role to make splash plays, which are great when they work out and very bad when they don't.

I stand by my statements, the Bengals defense will be better in 2022 than in 2021 and some will be because the OL improvement will jelp the offense be better in 2022 than they were in 2021.
