Not only is Mackensie Alexander great in coverage, but he’s also physical on the edge. Now the Bengals have a great slot corner AND the weakness at linebacker will be less vulnerable

The Waynes contract of course is apart of this I am sure. Spent big on Waynes, we will spend big on Alexander down the road.

out of Minny. It is what we should of done in the first place before Zim left, replace Marv with Zim, lots of us were calling for this
and I don't think Zim has done a bad job in Minny at all.

Don't forget, they tried to get Schobert too. That would have been a pretty nice set of players who can actually tackle someone.

I'm sure they all watched the tape against Lamar Jackson and just laughed their asses off at the 100 missed tackles that game.

I wonder if that had anything to do with it???

Dennard sure didn't get much from the Jags, thought he would of gotten much more than that. 

One of the best Slot CB's in the NFL last year if not the best Dennard was. His injury history I guess had to be taken into account.
