Don't be sentimental when judging football talent.

The Bengals were soft at LB and at CB the past two years. We replaced decent players with the ability to rattle the joints . We have some guys now who you better know where they are if you are a receiver, they will hit you and will wrap you up.

Add Reader to a good DL and the better tackling and I see s much i,proved run defense. 

Most forget tagging Green may be our best move during free agency.
