He had some talent eventually on IR/traded/Opt-out, but it shouldn't have been as dire as it was.
Waynes (0 games played)
Reader (5 games played)
Atkins (8 games played)
Dunlap (7 games played)
Tupou (0 games played)


Wren also didn't play this season, but he really wasn't a key player last year, so I wouldn't consider him not playing a big impact.

Hubbard, Daniels, Alexander, Phillips, and WJ3 all played 11+ games.
The LBs were basically all healthy.

So the only real "hit" was DT, where the Bengals were basically missing four of their planned five going into the season. Covington and Williams did not play well, but I'm not confident even a healthy Atkins and Reader would have had this defense as a Top 20 unit.
