But the question is how did we improve our interior passrush? are we sold on Zack Carter who I dont think logged one full sack? Sample is a good motor guy and is solid backup but Im concerned since we barely eeeked out 30 sacks last yr.
We were so much better with Larry O along side Reader in this regard.

No doubt. Not only the Sacks but the TFL is crazy. I don't care how small a school the dude is from, that is some promising stuff if 
this Maxwell guy can make the jump. To have those type of stats is mind blowing from a DT no matter what level.

On offense I've been concerned about the TE position.  On defense I felt like we needed an upgrade at 3 technique.  

Hopefully this guy solves the latter problem.

Carter WAS better late in the year, but it was mainly as a run stopper. Maxwell could certainly be the 3-tech with those numbers 
and the fact he DID play 3T in college, unlike Carter who played a lot on the EDGE at Florida. Myles Murphy can move inside and
be a presence as a pass rusher from the inside on passing downs which makes this an even better pick.

I like Cam Sample too, we will see how these guys grow as it was the weakness on the DL even if BJ Hill does a lot of great things
I don't consider him an outright 3-tech.


They do that a lot don't they....

Any way to associate an Off field problem player with the Bengals even though he wasn't an off field problem here...


Forgive me Wyche, which one?
