The one thing is if all of these guys are playing well and Shawn continues to not play great we could move Shawn to Nickel LB
and Shaw to Safety and we could have one hell of a Secondary under Coyle. Shaw is very good in coverage and plays physical.

Also like Derron Smith a lot at depth at Safety. Ballhawk, just needs to learn to tackle.

I like Smith a lot as well. Shaw could be a nice fit at S, but I'd like to see Smith get a chance. The situation with Shawn was self inflicted. He didn't get much playing time and then they had to make a rush decision. Perfect example of why the Bengals need to start working these young guys in on defense instead of waiting until the last minute and being forced to make a decision.

On a different note, it's hilarious to me that the NFL continues to become more and more of a passing league yet our coaching staff wants to stay old school and run the ball. Obviously you need both, but we never do anything to improve our run blocking. If Ogbuehi and Fisher do not progress like we need and hope, it doesn't matter who our RBs are.

I think we need to let Dalton air it out more. I think we need to keep up with the rest of the league instead of trying to stick to the same plan we've been using the last 30 years.
