Geno.....

Randle, for several years, was paired with Henry Thomas.  The Bengals have never had a DT of Thomas’ caliber lining up next to Geno. The Bengals team building strategy under Mike and Marvin always seems to be to seek decent units at all positions, but never turning merely decent into dominating.  After 15 years, the closest the Bengals have had to a dominating position unit was the O lines of Big Willie, Steinbach, Braham, Bobbie Williams, and Levi Jones, or possibly the WR trio of Chad, T.J., and Henry when eligible.   That’s pretty much it.  Never a dominant D line, never a dominant LB crew, never a dominant secondary, dominant running backs, etc.

Beg your pardon?  The Dlines of '12 through '15 were pretty much stellar.

Edit: In fact they were so good, the Beastie Boys wrote a song predicting their arrival, 14 years in advance. I think they called it Intergalactic.
