Aside from OL, what position group do the Bengals need most improvement?

I know people expected more sacks, but all of these claims that he is "doing nothing" or "not a starter" are absurd.

Mr absurd checking in...you know me:  the one who attends every home game and gets the coaches cuts?

You might have seen rankings of him in specific categories, but the last ranking I saw that PFF had out there was around 50th of DEs.  He plays in a 4-3, where many people called DEs are really DTs in a 3-4 defense, where one of the two DEs are lined up inside and outside linebacker/passrusher. These guys are not put in the same places as MJ to make those plays you quoted.  A RDE in a 4-3 defense has to be able to speed rush around the edge.  There were plays Sunday where MJ was shoved 8 yards away from the pocket.  A non-factor.  I need more out of a 4-3 RDE that gets most QBs blindside.  

Why not post the players he is ranked ahead of and the players he is ranked behind in a separate thread.  Just call it:  "I am the only one who thinks MJ is good" and enlighten us all with some stats that are completely different than what we see in the games.
