backer with his build, speed and ability at tackling and in pass coverage. Andrew Brown just fits as an End in a 3-4 and Law
is one of the best pass rushers in the league if he can stay healthy.

I know Hubbard has become a favorite around here and has put up good stats but he could really thrive. Hubbard.  


On Offense, my guy is Ross, he just needs to stay healthy and he is right now and he has already practiced with Burrow and
is healthy right now. A guy like Burrow could get Ross right mentally as well. I have backed Ross from the beginning and 
always said injuries are his biggest problems. We will see with this man, still rooting for him.

You are dead on about Hubbard, and I think the fact that he got 41 solo tackles last year (6 more than TJ Watt) shows his range.  I think he will thrive under this defense (having Reader collapse the middle helps, too) and he could get the same kind of sack numbers of a TJ Watt (14.5 LY).  

And you know I am also in Ross's camp.  Folks seem to only see his impact in his stats, but he forces defenses to change the way they defend the Bengals and the guys in the middle (previously Eifert and Boyd) get to eat more.  I think having Green on the field at the same time will REALLY open things up.  As we all have said numerous times, it comes down to staying healthy.
