We're bottom in pass rush so far this year. It's a growing concern that isn't being talked about enough.

Joe Ossai looked good during the 2021 Preseason...

Huge problem right now. I’m extremely disappointed in Hendrickson who has put up two goose eggs against a 4th round rookie LT, and a backup LT so far.

We totally overrated Ossai based off one preseason game.

Hubbard has been our best pass rusher, imo. And that’s not a good thing.

dont needs stats to tell you the pass rush is a problem

great run defense, good secondary, bad pass rush

Who does the defensive line practice against during the week? The offensive line! This makes practice way too easy and against a real offensive line in a real game they struggle.

The secondary was not good today. Apple was terrible. Bates sucked. Noah frickin Brown went for almost 100 yards and a TD.

I talk about it. Defense is mediocre too.

They practiced against even worse last year and the pass rush was downright dominant in many games.

We’re really missing Ogunjobi, and Hendrickson is not getting home.

The only thing they’re really good at is stopping the run. Which would be great if this was 1995.

I think Hill had a career year last year. Larry O was good too pass rushing.

they had a bad game but this secondary in general is good. The defense played very good today, and it wasnt because of the pass rush


you know what, the secondary was alright today. Mike Hilton was making plays. Defense only let up 20 points, and only 3 in the 2nd half

The secondary were sloppy today we should have had at least 2 maybe 3 picks.

I don’t think Trey is fully fit with his back and if he’s off then we have no chance of getting through, we need to get Ossai in for far more snaps to see what the kid can do at this point what do we have to lose?

Same with Dax.

the bengals defense has played well these first 2 games. shutting down the run is still very important. Youre being very ignorant right now

everyone agrees the defense was good these first 2 weeks. Why is that? The run defense and secondary. Pass rush is non existent

has the secondary been consistent? no, but overall its been good.

We need to get Auden Tate the ball more too.

The somehow managed to hold the only team in the NFL that didn't score a td last week to 2 tds with a backup qb.

Great job defense!

Only 20 points? They were playing a team that didn’t even score a TD week 1, with a backup QB in. Brown and Lamb combined for 166 yds. And Pollard killed us in the screen game.

The defense was entirely mediocre today. And you’re lying if you say you didn’t see Dallas driving down the field to setup that game winning FG coming.

holding any team to 20 points in today's nfl is very good. Simple fact. Held the cowboys to 3 points in the 2nd half

Steelers only scored 16 points on cincys defense.

so bengals defense is allowing 18 ppg. Thats very good for a team with no pass rush

Nate jinx'd Trey this week.

irrelevant. Bengals held dallas to 3 points in the 2nd half with no pass rush.

the defense is the least of this teams concerns right now. Offense and coaching are the main problems. The pass rush is definitely a problem though

defense is currently allowing 18ppg. Thats very good.

Frank has to suck off the defense, because it fits his narrative that the OL is the one and only problem with this team.

Personally I’m a little concerned that our CB2 is complete trash, our pass rush is non-existent, and our “elite safety” is MIA unless he’s getting burned for TD’s.
