Billings will be like other players on the Bengals and have a career year in his contract year after doing little...sign a large contract...then regress to the mean.

Hope not, i want to see this guy become that dominant Vince Wilfork type next to Geno before Geno retires.

-The defensive line was supposed to be the strength of the team and it was bad even when Lawson was healthy, plus he can't help in stopping the run he's a pass rusher only.
- 3 first round corners and they have zero picks between them which is embarrassing
- Zero creativity on defense

Need new coaches everywhere but damn is Haslett terrible?

Bates was better than i thought he would be as a rookie and tackled much better than i thought.

I think he can be our future Steeler killer like Reggie was if we get a decent DC.
