Outside of Trey Hendrickson and DJ Reader there has been alot of average to below average play on the DL. When those two players come off the field the defense changes drastically. The Bengals need to attack the IDL in Free Agency and in the Draft this off-season.
No doubt, it is so inconsistent. BJ Hill flashes a lot, but other than him and Trey there is no pass rush and we have had so much trouble
in stopping the run this year even with DJ Reader. Bad angles by the Linebackers as well have been a huge problem and we saw it once
again yesterday with both Logan and Pratt. Dax Hill had the first terrible play but overall he wasn't terrible.
Youth and Lou's game plan along with tackling have been poor this year, but the DL needs get better stopping the run, clogging up the
middle and get better in pass rushing situations besides Trey.
