load up on defense with a couple of FAs and top 2 picks in draft and plan to play an extremely conservative, no turn over offense like the first Ravens Super Bowl team
Foster and Burfict could be a really dynamic linebacker situation. We also need a third down edge rusher and maybe Barwick can fill that role.
I think taking a RB with one of first two picks will be a complete waste with our current o line.
So like they tried to do last year?
The Bengals had 1 more turnover (17) than the Ravens did that year (16)
They Bengals even had a better scoring defense last year. And the same ranked defense (17th)
The Ravens had a top 10 scoring unit. They weren't conservative.
The Bengals, on the other hand, ranked 24th in the league in scoring.
