The Steelers believe in drafting pass rushers and run stuffers and continuously stock their defensive front with early round talent. The Bengals have sucked **** at drafting d-linemen every since Paul brown kicked the bucket. They got really lucky about 7 or 8 years ago and landed Geno and Dunlap plus MJ. Ever since then they've basically been showing the league that they still have zero ability to evaluate d-line (or linebacking) talent whatsoever.
Guys drafted after Aktins/Dunlap/MJ:
Margus Hunt
Devon Still
Dontay Moch
Brandon Thompson
Will Clarke
Marcus Hardison
Andrew Billings
How many of these clown ***** do we feel comfortable calling NFL starters?
What have we gotten in place of drafting these bums? More corners on 3-year plans and *****-ass offensive linemen that look and play the exact opposite of how AFC North linemen look and play.
Pittsburgh signs as few outside FAs as the Bengals. When they do, they are dumpster dives like our guys for the most part. They just draft to stock the trenches first. We draft to stock the perimeter secondary and wait forever for the picks to develop.
They also have an identity that is linked to their front 7 on defense. It's been consistent for years with some ups and downs here and there, but it's who they are. Their offense has changed with various coordinators, but the defense changes little regardless of who is coordinating.
What's the Bengals identity? Slow linebackers that can't cover? Softness up the middle defending the run? Stupid Penalites? Zero offensive identity? You tell me.
