The issue is they have better second level coverage linebackers than us by far. When your second level takes away the quick dump off passes it let's your front get home. I think fixing the LBing group has to be priority one this off season even more so than O line because most of our defensive issues are related to the complete crap show at LB.

Yeah, I think a lot of the issues with the DL were because opposing QBs always had an open short yardage receiver.  It's hard to get pressure when the QB can just dump the ball off in a couple of seconds.

We know that Dalton has one of the quickest releases in the league, but I would be curious to see the release times of QBs facing the Bengals defense, especially compared to when they face the rest of the league.
