Mike Hilton is having a great game.

Very excited that he is a Steelers loss and a Bengals addition for 2021.

The more physical the better. If Waynes pans out and plays like he can we could have a really nice back end of the defense this year. He's another physical player and great tackler. Vonn Bell is a physical guy so there is 3 big time tacklers who can all play the run well which is huge in the AFCN. Bates is more of a technician but another stud in the secondary. With an improved DL/pass rush these guys might be a force to be reckon with.

I have to admit the one off-season move im not happy with, which probably doesn't have anything to do with Hilton is we let Alexander go. He was a must keep IMO im still salty on that one. Him and Hilton would be great but it is what it is.

He knows when to blitz and take out the QB. Best Slot Corner in the League at doing this right now. 

To steal the man from the stealers is pretty damn sweet.

I here he can blitz which a nice little wrinkle to throw in every now and then and he can tackle. I felt like Alexander was also good against run , I guess my question is can any of these CBs we signed cover ? The kid from Dallas has good raw tools but that secondary was a train wreck last year. I know these guys fit “Lou’s zone “ scheme but I’m skeptical considering he has no proven track record as a successful defensive coordinator.
