I love Reggie Nelson, but he did not wrap up ball carriers 3 times allowing them to run thru his one on one tackles. I hope it was because he did not practice much due to a tight hamstring last week.
Yes, the LBERs need to play better, yet our run defense is not too shabby overall against 2 teams who can run the ball the Chargers and the Raiders.
I know people love to trash Rey M. But, I suggest you look up our team stats against the run when he plays (not hurt) versus when he is healthy. The facts say the Bengals are a whole lot better with him than without him.
Free Agency ain't over until it is over.
