Bengals 2019 LBers

[*ochocincos*]

If the Bengals can get back to at least a top-half-of-the-league defense while getting back to the offensive level they were showing early on last year, they should return to their winning ways. They didn't really do much to improve the defensive side of the ball aside from adding Pratt though.

If Pratt can show good play as a rookie, Vigil can stay healthy and play (at least) like he did last year, and Preston Brown can stay healthy and play like he did prior to coming to Cincinnati, the Bengals can have a decent LB unit. However, they'll still need a good pass rush to help them, so the Bengals will need Atkins, Dunlap, and Lawson to all stay healthy along with someone to step up and be a good nickel interior pass rusher. This last one is the biggest question mark of all right now.
