He said the DL was going to be badly downgraded with departures of Hill and Ogunjobi, the OL needed more than a year to fix and our defensive backfield needs help. He said Bengals won't repeat as division winners in such a tough division.
It sure is nice to hear the "respect" being showered on the Bengals. Here's to hoping there's more crow served up next year.
It’s pretty unlikely we’ll lose both Ogunjobi and Hill. I would think they sign at least one of them.
Saying our secondary needs help is a bit of a stretch. Even if they don’t tag or re-sign Bates and he leaves they still have Awuzie (top 3 graded CB by PFF), one of the best slot guy’s in Hilton, and a really good safety in Bell.
As far as the division? I like our chances as long as we stay relatively healthy, and the Steelers don’t land Aaron Rodgers or something crazy. We have the best QB by far. Unless Lamar reruns to MVP form, which tbh I don’t see happening.
