ARZ: They have 7.5 combined sacks coming back in their starters
ATL: They bring back 9
BAL: Projected starters had 5 sacks last year
CAR: Brings back 17 (only .5 fewer than Trey go by himself last year)
CHI- Brings back 15
CLV: 19.5 (One of the best duos in the NFL)


I stopped after the first 6 alphabetically and a case can easily be made that Cincy is better (especially in pass rushing) than 5 of them.

I think the issue is: You're spot on on pointing out a few of our warts, but you're overestimating the rest of the NFL, if you have us bottom 5. 

funny i was going to do that also,, there is not alot of depth overall in the league, as i stated Trey and Hubbard are in top 10 together... especially as i stated last three years Trey is 3rd in sacks and Hubbard is 20th, plus Hubbard is good against run and drops in coverage also, so very versatile
