They are better at O line. That's it.

PFF overall improvement index has them at a -.3 from last years team so far since free agency.

I know people aren't all in on pro football focus, but it gives you an idea of where we are at. Still a lot of work left to do.

I'd argue they aren't even really better on OL yet either.
They upgraded RT, but they downgraded at OG given they are back to XSF and Jordan as the starters.

Their pass catchers are worse without AJ Green.

The DL and CB replacements are not really better than what they had, but they are rather close in skill.
The hope is that Reader and Waynes returning will be the keys to improving the defense at this point.

Bengals need 1-2 OL and 1 WR to improve over last year.
