Not trying to re-hash that . . . no Chase, no Super Bowl in my opinion so I'll take it, but this version of the team looks the least like an AFC North team.
The LBs are the biggest disappointment. The young DBs have had a few good moments and a lot of bad ones but the dropoff of the two starting LBs is pretty startling considering that there are no changes other than the two starters getting paid.
You think the Bengals... drafting 5th... took a player tobgo after thebbest team in the league who isn't inntheir division?
Revisionist history. You're connecting dots that aren't there. The LBs are all hood players. Lou's scheme has massive zone holes in it and is giving easy completions. In a pass heavy league, it's not working because the Bengals get no pressure. NFL zones onlywork with pressure so the QB gets off schedule. Bengals QBs are sittkng back picking Lou's zone apart. Tough ti ask the LBs to work in that.
