If this was posted, my apologies. This is the defensive stats for 2024 including sacks.

 https://www.foxsports.com/nfl/cincinnati-bengals-team-stats?category=defense&season=2024&seasonType=reg&sort=def_sck&sortOrder=desc

Trey 17.5, Ossai - 5,, Hubbard 2,  Johnson 1 and Murhy 0, Sample 0 (injured) = 25.5 by DE's

Jenkins 3, Hill 3, Rankins 1, Jackson1- 8 by DT's

We need to improve on the combo of Hubbard, Ossai, Johnson, Murphy and Sample. Those 4 only had 8 sacks combined.  We can't expect Try to 17 to 20 sack every year.

Also the DT's. The returning players (Slayton not included) had 7 sacks in 2024. All 3 of the DT's had various injuries in 2024 and 2 were rookies learning the ropes.

Can our DT maje big improvents in 2025?

I think our DL can help our defense be much better in 2024, add another high draft pick and even better.

I think we need to get or DE's to 32 sacks or 2 a game. Then our DT growp to at least 12 sacks. Both groups would be an improvement of 12.5 sacks overall. If they can do it, I think our defense gets much batter quickly in 2025.
